Interview with the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/30/23 at 1:15 P.M. revealed they were unaware if the ancillary provider (DRIPT IV) possessed a Terminal Distributor of Dangerous Drugs (TDDD) license for the State of Ohio. The DON verified that the above listed residents received IV infusions provided by the ancillary provider. Interview with Medical Director (MD) #500 on 11/30/23 at 3:45 P.M. revealed he was told the ancillary provider was a new service vendor brought to the facility to help prevent dehydration, and rehospitalization under the supervision of a physician. MD #500 stated that he was provided information from the facility's corporate management that the outside service was operating under proper local and federal regulations. MD #500 stated no negative reactions were reported to him in connection to the IV infusions. Interview with Representative #405 for the ancillary provider stated they did not have State of Ohio TDDD licensure. He stated they were a Medical Entity, with a Medical Director licensed in the State of Ohio. Every other state in which they provided services did not require a special TDDD license and after about three months of providing services in the Ohio area, they learned Ohio was an exception. He stated they applied for the license and were told they could continue providing services, license approval would take days. He stated an audit was conducted, and the Board of Pharmacy reported them. Simultaneously, the group had decided to stop providing services in Ohio unrelated to the licensure concerns. They rescinded their application for licensure. He stated they provided five specialized infusions that could be specialized based on resident needs. The intervention was created a couple of years ago and found to be beneficial for residents with chronic urinary tract infections (UTI), residents who did not eat or drink well, and/or weight loss concerns. He stated they presented the program to facility ownership.

F 0694 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some possess, and/or distribute dangerous drugs at specific locations. Terminal distributors of dangerous drugs include, but are not limited to, hospitals, pharmacies, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) organizations, laboratories, nursing homes, and prescriber practices. Distribution includes the administration of drugs on-site to patients as well as providing medications to patients to take away from the facility for later use. Dangerous drugs are defined in the Ohio Revised Code as any drug that meets any of the following: 1. Requires a subscription; 2. Bears on the label a Federal Legend (Rx Only or Caution: Federal law prohibits dispensing without a prescription); 3. Is intended for injection into the human body; or 4. Any drug that is a biological product as defined in section 3715.01 of the Revised Code. Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 4729.51 states that no licensed manufacturer, outsourcing facility, third-party logistics provider, repackager, or wholesale distributor shall sell dangerous drugs to anyone other than the following: (1) a licensed terminal distributor of dangerous drugs; (2) Any person exempt from licensure as a terminal distributor of dangerous drugs under section 4729.541 of the Revised Code (3) a licensed manufacturer, outsourcing facility, third-party logistics provider, repackager, or wholesale distributor; or (4) A terminal distributor, manufacturer, outsourcing facility, third-party logistics provider, repackager, or wholesale distributor that is located in another state, is not engaged in the sale of dangerous drugs within this state, and is actively licensed to engage in the sale of dangerous drugs by the state in which the distributor conducts business. In general, the exemptions to Ohio's TDDD licensure requirements do not apply if the prescriber practice is engaged in drug compounding. Compounding is defined as the preparation, mixing, assembling, packaging, and labeling of one or more drugs. Compounding includes the combining, admixing, diluting, reconstituting, or otherwise altering of a drug or bulk drug substance. The deficiency was corrected on 11/21/23 after the facility implemented the following corrective actions: On 09/22/23, the contract with DRIPT IV cessation was effective. On 09/22/23, all 10 (#02, #03, #04, #08, #09, #10, #11, #12, #16, and #19) residents who remained in the facility, who received IV's from DRIPT IV, were assessed and had no signs or symptoms or adverse effects related to the IV medications. On 11/21/23, all contracts that involve providing medications to the residents were reviewed to ensure the proper TDD licensure is in place and no issues were found. On 11/21/23, education was provided to the governing body (Vice President of Operations #505, Director of Operations #510, and Director of Clinical Operations #515) to ensure TDD licensure for Ohio is effective before accepting medication into facility/administration of medication. On 11/21/23, to monitor ongoing compliance, the facility will complete audits of any company providing any pharmacy services to ensure that the appropriate TDD licensure is effective in the State of Ohio. Audits will be completed weekly for one month and then monthly for three months. The audits will be taken to the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) review. On 12/06/23 at 10:10 A.M., an interview with the Administrator and the DON, verified education was provided by [NAME] President of Operations (VPO) #505 and confirmed education about verifying sources of medications were compliant with Ohio regulations regarding pharmacy and medications was providing.

Interview with the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/30/23 at 1:15 P.M. revealed they were unaware if the ancillary provider (DRIPT IV) possessed a Terminal Distributor of Dangerous Drugs (TDDD) license for the State of Ohio. The DON verified that the above listed residents received IV infusions provided by the ancillary provider. Interview with Medical Director (MD) #500 on 11/30/23 at 3:45 P.M. revealed he was told the ancillary provider was a new service vendor brought to the facility to help prevent dehydration, and rehospitalization under the supervision of a physician. MD #500 stated that he was provided information from the facility's corporate management that the outside service was operating under proper local and federal regulations. MD #500 stated no negative reactions were reported to him in connection to the IV infusions. Interview with the Administrator on 12/06/23 at 10:20 A.M. revealed [NAME] President of Operations (VPO) #505 from the facility's corporate office notified them to stop administration of IV infusions from the ancillary provider (DRIPT IV) on 09/22/23. They were not made aware of any concerns related to the TDDD Ohio licensure for the ancillary provider. Interview with Representative #405 for the ancillary provider stated they did not have State of Ohio TDDD licensure. He stated they were a Medical Entity, with a Medical Director licensed in the State of Ohio. Every other state in which they provided services did not require a special TDDD license and after about three months of providing services in the Ohio area, they learned Ohio was an exception. He stated they applied for the license and were told they could continue providing services, license approval would take days. He stated an audit was conducted, and the Board of Pharmacy reported them. Simultaneously, the group had decided to stop providing services in Ohio unrelated to the licensure concerns. They rescinded their application for licensure. He stated they provided five specialized infusions that could be specialized based on resident needs. The intervention was created a couple of years ago and found to be beneficial for residents with chronic urinary tract infections (UTI), residents who did not eat or drink well, and/or weight loss concerns. He stated they presented the program to facility ownership. Review of the State of Ohio Terminal Distributor Licensure of Prescriber Practices (https://www.pharmacy.ohio.gov), dated 08/24/23, revealed a TDDD license allows a business entity to purchase, possess, and/or distribute dangerous drugs at specific locations. Terminal distributors of dangerous drugs include, but are not limited to, hospitals, pharmacies, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) organizations, laboratories, nursing homes, and prescriber practices. Distribution includes the administration of drugs on-site to patients as well as providing medications to patients to take away from the facility for later use.
