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 record review, interview, and observation, the facility failed to ensure drugs were stored under proper temperature controls, when the temperature log for (MONTH) (YEAR) on medication refrigerator in the Medication Room showed blank entries for 3 out of 19 days, and there were no temperature logs available for (MONTH) or (MONTH) of (YEAR). This deficient practice likely results in the inability of the facility to substantiate data that reflects that the medication refrigerator temperatures were within acceptable parameters on a daily basis to help assure the potency of the refrigerated medications, and has the potential to affect all 103 residents residing in the facility (residents were identified by the census list provided by the administrator on 09/18/17). The findings are: [NAME] On 09/20/17 at 9:55 am, during medication storage observation in the Med Room, it was revealed that the Daily Temperature Log on the medication refrigerator was missing temperatures on 09/02/17, 09/07/17, and 09/08/17. The refrigerator contained insulin for specific residents, tuberculin solution for skin testing and other medications. B. On 09/20/17 at 10:16 am, during an interview with ADON (Assistant Director of Nurses) #2, he said the night shift is responsible to complete the logs and he acknowledged that some dates were missing indicating the temperatures were not done on those dates. C. On 09/20/17 at 11:49 am, the DON (Director of Nurses) said he was unable to provide temperature logs for the medication refrigerator for (MONTH) and (MONTH) of (YEAR). The DON said he believes the refrigerator logs were misplaced or lost during the recent renovations. The DON affirmed his expectation is that the medication refrigerators should have the temperature checked daily to assure it is in the proper range for medication storage. D. Review of the facility procedures Storage of Medication, Section 4.1, dated 05/16 revealed: 11. Medications requiring 'refrigeration' or 'temperatures between 2 degrees C (Centigrade) (36 degrees Fahrenheit) and 8 degrees centigrade (46 degrees F) are kept in the refrigerator with a thermometer to allow temperature monitoring. 16. Medication storage conditions are monitored on a regular basis as a random quality assurance (QA) check. |
