Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a licensed pharmacist performed a monthly medication regimen review (MRR) for one resident out of five reviewed for pharmacy services. Review of pharmacy consultation progress notes showed that the resident did not have a pharmacy MRR completed for the month of October 2024. During interviews, the DON was unable to locate the MRR for that month and later confirmed through an audit that the review had not been completed. The DON also revealed that a total of three residents were overlooked for pharmacy MRRs during the same period. Facility policy requires that the consultant pharmacist review the medication regimen of each resident at least monthly, but this was not followed for the identified residents.
