Complaint Investigation Report

The investigation revealed the following: in regard to the allegation " Staff mismanaged a resident's medication record", it is alleged that someone signed initials for med tech that wasn't there, and director of the department is not doing anything about it.

Staff interviewed deny the allegation. Records reviewed did not support the allegation. There were no errors observed during the Medication Administration Records review. LPA didn't find any discrepancy and could not locate any documents that suggest facility staff sign initials for another med tech who wasn't there. Staff interviewed deny the allegation. They stated that everyone has their own passwords to log in in the system / MAR, and they can’t sign for another Med Tech, and someone can't sing for them. There were no witnesses to this allegation.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.

Exit interview held and a copy of the report was provided to Executive Director Kevin Taliaferro.
