61 AROOSTOOK HEALTH CENTER 205018 PO BOX 410 MARS HILL ME 4758 2019-06-19 756 D 0 1 YCT711 Based on record reviews and interview, the facility failed to ensure that the Consultant Pharmacist conducted a monthly medication regimen review (MRR) for 1 of 5 sampled residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (#24). Finding: On 6/19/19 at 8:12 a.m., Resident #24's clinical record was reviewed and revealed that the Consultant Pharmacist conducted a monthly MRR on 3/8/19 and 5/22/19. The clinical record lacked evidence that a MRR was completed in the month of (MONTH) 2019. On 6/19/19 at 9:28 a.m., during an interview with the Registered Nurse (RN) Minimum Data Set (MDS) Lead, the surveyor confirmed this finding. The RN MDS Lead indicated that Resident #24 was out of the building the day the Consultant Pharmacist came to do the MRR and may have thought Resident #24 was discharged but the resident was not discharged . 2020-09-01
