Summary
A medication error rate of 5 percent or greater was identified during the survey. This indicates that the facility failed to ensure that the administration of medications was performed with an acceptable level of accuracy, resulting in a higher than permitted rate of medication errors. The deficiency was based on direct observation and calculation of medication administration errors, as required by regulatory standards. No additional details about specific residents, staff, or the types of medication errors were provided in the report.
