Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, clinical records, resident and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed
to implement pharmaceutical services to ensure availability and administration of prescribed medications
for one of four sampled residents (Residents R1). This deficiency is cited as past non-compliance.
Findings include:
The facility Medication packaging policy dated 6/17/24, indicated that medications are provided in
packaging to facilitate accurate administration and accountability of medication. It is suggested that nurses
review the medication administration records (MAR) prior to passing medications in order to prevent errors.
Review of Residents R1's admission record indicated she was admitted on [DATE].
Review of Residents R1's MDS assessment (MDS-Minimum Data Set assessment: periodic assessment of
resident care needs) dated 5/18/24, indicated that she had diagnoses that included paraplegia (paralysis of
the legs and lower body), anxiety disorder (a medical condition creating a sense of acute fear, restlessness,
and worry), history of TIA (Transient ischemic attack-blockage of blood flow in the brain), hyperlipidemia
(elevated lipid levels within the blood), diabetes (metabolic disorder impacting organ function related to
glucose levels in the human body), disfunction of bladder, and a history of Urinary Tract Infection (an
infection in any part of the kidneys, bladder or urethra). The review found these diagnoses to be the most
current.
Review of Residents R1's care plan dated 6/20/24, indicated to provide medications as ordered and
document effectiveness.
Review of Residents R1's physician orders dated 3/5/24, indicated to administer Tizanidine (Zanaflex) 2

7/8/24 and 7/9/24.
Review of Residents R1's medication administration notes dated 7/8/24 and 7/9/24, indicated that
Tizanidine (Zanaflex) 2mg ordered for three times a day for spasms was not available to give.

three years. I think I missed my medications in July for maybe two weeks. The medication is
Tizanidine/Zanaflex, on a Thursday night, the fourth of July weekend. They ran out of the medication and
they told me that I was ordered it from pharmacy. Never got the medications until Tuesday of the following
week. I take it three times a day. I am not sure why the medications are not ordered before they run out.
The pharmaceutical report dated 7/15/24, indicated that the Omnicell (automated medication dispensing
machine use to hold and account for medication) now had the Tizanidine for use.
On 7/9/24, the facility administration initiated plan of correction actions. The facility plan of correction
actions included:
1) Audits of Medication carts for Nursing units A, B, C/D per week for four weeks starting 7/9/24 and ending
8/2/24.
2) Re-education on 7/10/24 with nursing staff about pharmacy services, ordering medications, and
Omnicell
3) Listing of medications available in the Omnicell on each medication cart
in the event that a medication is unavailable
4) Investigation about insurance dropping medication starting on 7/9/24.
5) Discussion with Resident R1's family about the medication not being available.
6) The DON spoke to pharmacy about adding the medication Tinizdine to the Omnicell.
7) The nurse supervisor called pharmacy on 7/7/24 and 7/8/24 about the Tinizdine. The nurse supervisor
did notify
the doctor about Tinizidine not being available.
8) Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) creation of a PIP (Performance improvement plan)
for
starting 7/10/24 and ending 7/17/24 to ensure medication availability.
Review of facility documentation on 8/7/24, indicated corrective actions had taken place and that the facility
had demonstrated compliance with the regulation as of 8/2/24.
During an interview on 8/7/24, at 11:42 a.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the facility failed
to implement pharmaceutical services to ensure availability and administration of prescribed medications
for Resident R1. The facility had implemented a plan of correction and achieved compliance on 8/2/24
ensuring the availability and administration of prescribed medications.
