They further revealed they would be meeting with the pharmacist to evaluate their in-house medication stock; and revealed their expectation that medications would be available timely to meet the needs of each resident, and the doctor would be notified of discrepancies, delays, or medications unavailable from pharmacy. 28 Pa.
