(1) An assisted living facility providing medication service, either directly or indirectly, must: (a) Meet the requirements of chapter 69.41 RCW Legend drugs Prescription drugs, and other applicable statutes and administrative rules; and (b) Develop and implement systems that support and promote safe medication service for each resident. (2) The assisted living facility must ensure the following residents receive their medications as prescribed, except as provided for in WAC 388-78A-2230 and 388-78A-2250 : (a) Each resident who requires medication assistance and his or her negotiated service agreement indicates the assisted living facility will provide medication assistance; and (b) If the assisted living facility provides medication administration services, each resident who requires medication administration and his or her negotiated service agreement indicates the assisted living facility will provide medication administration. This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were administered their medications as ordered for 2 of 3 sampled residents (Resident 1 and Resident 2). This failure resulted in Resident 1 (R1) and Resident 2’s (R2) decline in medical conditions and a diminished quality of life. Findings included… Review of the facility’s Medication Reconciliation Policy, revised November 2018, “medication reconciliation (the process of creating the most current, complete, and accurate medication list possible) should be performed and documented every time a resident is received and transferred to another level of care.” The policy described the process of medication reconciliation and documented facility staff were to review medications prescribed for a resident “during transition from levels of care, such as Assisted Living community to Hospital to Assisted Living community.” The policy further clarified the receiving community “will review the resident’s medications ordered and/or taken prior to admission to the hospital, during the hospital admission, and continued orders obtained during transfer back to the community…” Record review of the facility’s Medication Administration Record Audit policy, revised in November 2020, documented, “change of shift audits should be completed for each This document was prepared by Residential Care Services for the Locator website.

The MAR audit is defined as verifying that all medications are administered and signed-off during the current shift as per physician/healthcare provider order.” Record review of the Facility’s Medications & Treatments Administration Assistance policy, revised in December 2019, documented, “medication administration/assistance and or treatment shall be provided in a safe and timely manner, and as prescribed by the resident’s physician/healthcare provider.” Record review of the Facility’s Medications & Treatments Medication Availability policy, revised December 2017, documented, “it is Brookdale’s policy that all currently ordered medications will be available to the resident.” Review of the facility’s medication error policy, revised in July 2023, documented one type of medication error was failure to administer a medication. If a medication error occurred, “the nurse/designee was responsible for reporting the error to the prescribing healthcare provider (HCP), the resident, the legally responsible party, and to the state, if applicable. The details of the medication error should then be documented in the Resident Log or Progress notes in PointClickCare (PCC, the facility’s electronic charting system).” According to an article published in the Merk Manual Professional Version, titled Drug-Related Problems in Older Adults, reviewed/revised in July 2021, “hospitalization rates due to adverse drug effects [effects that are unwanted, uncomfortable, or dangerous] are 4 times higher in older patients [more than 65 years of age] than in younger patients. Adverse drug effects are thought to be preventable in at least 25% of cases in older adults. One such preventable cause of adverse drug effects is poor communication, when drugs are inappropriately dosed, duplicated, continued, or stopped when care is transitioned between providers and/or facilities.” <Resident 1> R1 was admitted to the facility on /2023 with multiple diagnoses including . Record review of R1’s Personal Service Plan dated 03/22/2024, documented R1 had a seizure disorder, and R1 had no reluctance to accept/was cooperative with all care.

R2’s Personal Service Plan documented R2 would have their care managed by facility provider. Record review of R2’s May 2024 MAR documented an order for Citrucel (a medication used to treat and/or prevent constipation). R2’s MAR documented the following: Citrucel 500 mg (milligram) tablet Directions: take 1 tablet by mouth daily Indications for use: constipation Start date: 05/31/2023 Stop date: 05/29/2024 at 2:19 PM O5/27/2024 AM dose: R2 did not receive medication; pharmacy action required. O5/28/2024 AM dose: R2 did not receive medication; pharmacy action required. O5/29/2024 AM dose: R2 did not receive medication; pharmacy action required. R2’s May 2024 MAR documented a total 3 missed doses of Citrucel due to pharmacy action being required. Record review of R2’s nursing note by Staff D, Medication Technician, dated 05/29/2024 at 1:51 PM documented facility staff had made a request for Citrucel to be refilled on 05/18/2024 and pharmacy suggested an alternative medication be subscribed as there were supplier constraints on Citrucel at this time. R2’s nursing notes did not document follow-up communication with provider or pharmacy and did not document the medication error. In an interview with Staff D on 06/28/2024 at 3:30 PM, Staff D said they would look into R1’s missed levetiracetam. Staff D stated, “It sounded strange because they [the doctor] doesn’t just stop someone’s seizure medication.” Staff D said pharmacy action required meant the resident’s medication is not in the facility and staff “needed to contact the pharmacy to figure out what’s going on.” In an interview with Staff B on 06/28/2024 at 4:03PM, Staff B said they reviewed the discharge instructions provided to the facility by the hospital and stated, “I found it actually said continue the seizure medication [levetiracetam]. Staff B said audits of a resident’s MARs are done monthly. In an interview with Staff A, Executive Director, on 06/28/2024 at 4:43 PM, they said once the investigation into R1’s missing levetiracetam was concluded, Staff C was suspended and eventually terminated from employment. In an interview with Staff A on 10/17/2024 at 11:24 AM, they said the expectation was the HWD reviewed all orders received from a resident’s provider and follow the facility’s policies and procedures to implement the orders. Staff A said the person responsible for the accuracy of a resident’s new or changed orders was the facility’s HWD. This document was prepared by Residential Care Services for the Locator website.
