for Resident #71's narcotic sheet for Tramadol 50mg, there was no sheet. He checked the orders, and the
order was dated 2/13/2024 to start, and it was not ordered from pharmacy nor given to the resident for his
pain as needed.
During an interview on 2/20/2024 at 3:40 PM with LVN G, he stated there was an issue with Resident #71's
insurance paying for the Tramadol. He stated the insurance would cover Tramadol HCL. He stated he did
not know why no one followed up on the medication not being in the cart to be available to the resident.
During an interview on 2/22/2024 at 11:46 AM with the DON about the process for ordering medications for
re-admissions, she said the nurses should call the physician to verify and review the orders. Once that was
done, medications were put into PCC and it was integrated with pharmacy and that was how medication
was ordered. Once pharmacy receives the medication orders, they send it out to the facility, and deliver the
medication to the nurses station. The DON stated the nurses did not follow up with the order and the
medication was not in the facility to make available for the resident when he needed it. She stated she did
not know why no one got the medication out of the emergency box.
During an interview on 2/21/2024 at 10:15 AM with Resident #71, the surveyor asked if he had received his
Tramadol, he stated, yes and I feel much better. They gave it to me the first time yesterday. Thank you for
your help.
Review of the pharmacy's policy for the ordering process (4.1) and new orders (4.1.1) (no date) stated the
facility will transmit new orders via the facility's EHRPoint (Electronic Health Record) that is integrated with
PCC.
