Complaint Investigation Report
On 4/23/2025 LPA reviewed files and interviewed S1 and S2 and found the following: LPA observed that there were multiple instances on R1 MAR where medication was marked as administered however R1 was out of the community and unable to have taken the medicine. LPA identified that S1 made the error and found the following in the interview. S1 states that they pre pour medication based on the med list and then hand them out. After hand out they get marked off. S1 states it might have just been a mistake that medication was marked as given when it had not been administered. LPA then spoke with S2 to understand more about how a medication error like this could occur. S2 stated that the system where med-techs have to mark the medications given needs to be pressed twice to reflect not administered or else the system will mark as medication given. They believe that the medication being marked as given was an oversight.
