F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Based on interview and record review the facility failed to establish a system of records of receipt and disposition of all controlled drugs in sufficient detail to enable an accurate reconciliation and follow a policy to provide pharmacy services in accordance with State and Federal laws or rules of the Drug Enforcement Administration for 7 of 12 months (January 2023, March 2022, April 2022, June 2022, August 2022, November 2022, December 2022) reviewed for pharmacy services. The facility did not have a licensed pharmacist and witnesses initial the attached pages of medication destruction inventory sheets. This failure could put residents at risk for misappropriation and drug diversion. Findings: During a record review of the facility's drug destruction log for last 12 months, the drug destructions dated 01/06/2023, 03/03/2022, 04/05/2022, 6/27/2022, 8/02/2022,11/08/2022, and 12/05/2022 indicated attached pages of medication destruction did not include the initials of the consultant pharmacist and witnesses. During an interview on 01/24/23 at 2:10 PM, the DON stated she oversaw the facility drug destructions and was not aware that each inventory page required initials of pharmacist and witnesses. The DON stated the pharmacy consultant had been in the facility for a long time and they had always destroyed medications in this manner. The DON stated the risk of not accounting and destroying medications per regulation could be a drug diversion. The DON stated going forward the facility would follow the regulation and reconcile the medications with initials to each inventory sheet as regulated. During a phone interview on 01/24/23 at 2:34 PM the consultant pharmacist stated she thought the cover sheet was good enough and she did not have to initial the attached pages for a drug destruction. She stated she would see that this error was corrected. During an interview on 01/24/23 at 2:43 PM the Admin stated she would make sure the policy was being followed and would in-service the responsible staff to see that it was done correctly. The Admin stated the risk could vary but a drug diversion could occur if medications are not destroyed and appropriately accounted for. Record review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Disposal of Medications, Syringes, and Needles dated 11/13/2018 indicated, .c.
