Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a licensed pharmacist performed a monthly medication regimen review (MRR), including a review of the medical chart, for one of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. Specifically, a review of records revealed that one resident did not have a documented MRR for August 2024. This finding was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged the absence of the required review. The facility's policy requires the consultant pharmacist to review each resident's medication regimen and medical chart at least monthly.
