In collaboration with The Seattle Times, Big Local News is providing full-text nursing home deficiencies from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These files contain the full narrative details of each nursing home deficiency cited regulators. The files include deficiencies from Standard Surveys (routine inspections) and from Complaint Surveys. Complete data begins January 2011 (although some earlier inspections do show up). Individual states are provides as CSV files. A very large (4.5GB) national file is also provided as a zipped archive. New data will be updated on a monthly basis. For additional documentation, please see the README.

Based on observation, staff interview, record review and facility policy review, the facility failed to discard expired medications from one (1) of two (2) medication carts checked; Medication Cart for 700 and 800 Hall. Findings include: A review of the facility's policy entitled Storage of Medications with a revision date of (MONTH) 2007, reads, the facility shall not use discontinued, outdated, or deteriorated drugs or biologicals. All such drugs shall be returned to the dispensing pharmacy or destroyed. Observation on 7/25/17 at 9:15 AM, revealed Medication Cart for 700 and 800 Hall had an expired medication of Q-Pap (Acetaminophen) Oral Solution 16 ounces with the bottle remaining one-half ( 1/2) full, with an expiration date of 12/2016. During an interview on 7/26/17 at 2:35 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that every medication nurse is responsible for ensuring no expired medications are on the medication cart. The DON also stated the Pharmacist checks the medication carts at least once a month. The DON stated: My clinical judgement is the medication would be ineffective, because it is only good for the dates indicated. Interview on 7/26/17 at 2:45 PM, with the Pharmacist, revealed, I think that the drug needed to be pulled and discarded, the drug may not be as effective, it depends on the drug itself. The pharmacist also stated, I spot check the medications once a month, but I don't check every individual medication. |
