Summary
The facility failed to ensure that contracted agency staff completed required training and competency checks for medication administration. Record review showed that three agency LPNs did not have their medication pass competency and understanding of medication management completed and signed off on the Agency Competency Checklist. The facility's current policy, which includes contracted staff in its training requirements, specifies that all staff must be trained and demonstrate competency in relevant areas. During an interview, the Administrator confirmed that the checklist should have been signed off and no additional information was provided.
