Resident #26 was now paranoid, threatening to kill herself, and to cut her throat with a knife. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 01/09/24 at 1:41 P.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #234 indicated Resident #26 had baseline schizophrenic behaviors such as agitation and rocking. RN #234 confirmed there was an issue with getting the Clozapine from pharmacy, and it probably aided the agitation. RN #234 stated the nurses followed-up with pharmacy to find out why a medication was not available and contact the physician for directions. Interview on 01/09/24 at 2:36 P.M. with the DON and ADON #220 verified Resident #26 was re-admitted on [DATE] and the ordered Clozapine was not administered from 11/20/23 to 11/26/23. On 11/27/23 the physician was notified of the pharmacy need for REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) documentation to be completed to dispense Clozapine. At the time, the physician was not made aware of the missed Clozapine doses. On 11/27/23, 11/28/23, 11/30/23, 12/01/23 and 12/03/23, the ordered Clozapine was also not administered due to the medication not being available. On 12/04/23, the physician was contacted, and new orders were received for re-titration. Clozapine was not administered on 12/04/23 and 12/06/23, then Resident #26 went to the hospital on [DATE]. Interview on 01/09/24 at 3:58 P.M. with DON and ADON #220 confirmed Resident #26's physician was not notified of the missed doses of Clozapine until 12/04/23. ADON #220 indicated contacting the physician and reported increased agitation and Resident #26 was deteriorating due to the change in medication. On 12/07/23, Resident #26 was sent to the hospital due to increased behaviors, starting to refuse medications, and being suicidal. With a medication that requires REMS, laboratory results are sent to the pharmacy, and the pharmacy will notify the physician of the required documentation needed. If the physician does not complete it, then the pharmacy will notify the facility. The DON and ADON #220 verified it was the nurse's responsibility to contact the physician to obtain required documentation for the pharmacy. Interview on 01/10/24 at 9:29 A.M. with Physician #240 indicated being unaware Resident #26 missed more than three days of Clozapine. It was not until 12/04/23 when an email was received from the facility which reported a need for REMS documentation for the Clozapine and missed doses from 12/01/23 to 12/03/23. The facility had access to both Physician #240's phone number and email to contact at any time each day. It was the DON who provided information when anything was needed for medication dispensing. Physician #240 confirmed Resident #26's hospitalization on 12/07/24 for suicidal tendencies, paranoia, and agitation was a direct result from the lack of administration of Clozapine. Interview on 01/10/24 at 9:41 A.M. with Pharmacist #241 confirmed Resident #26's Clozapine was not delivered to the facility for administration between 11/20/23 and 12/04/23. Communication for REMS documentation was between the facility and the physician with the facility faxing laboratory values to the pharmacy. Pharmacist #241 verified the abrupt stopping of Clozapine had possible adverse effects including increased agitation and psychosis. Review of drug information on Clozapine retrieved from Medscape on 01/10/24 at https://reference.medscape.com/drug/clozaril-versacloz-clozapine-342972 revealed Clozapine was indicated for reducing risk of recurrent suicidal behavior in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, and in patients who are judged to be at chronic risk to re-experience suicidal behavior. Reduce doses gradually over a period of one to two weeks and taper gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms and minimize risk of relapse for schizophrenia. Guidelines recommend gradual taper over six to 24 months.
