4048 | TAYLOR HEALTH CARE CENTER | 515057 | 2 HOSPITAL PLAZA | GRAFTON | WV | 26354 | 2017-03-01 | 428 | D | 0 | 1 | WA6611 | **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the physician responded to a pharmacy recommendation for the gradual dose reduction of an antipsychotic medication in a timely manner. This practice was found for one (1) of five (5) Stage 2 sample residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. Resident identifier: #10. Facility census: 61. Findings include: a) Resident #10 On 02/21/17 at 1:17 p.m., medical record review revealed this Resident #10, admitted on [DATE], had [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. He was currently receiving Risperdal (an antipsychotic medication) 0.25 milligrams (mg) by mouth daily twice a day (BID) for schizoaffective disorder. The pharmacist's consultation report dated 02/03/16 noted the resident was receiving Risperdal 0.25 mg BID. The pharmacist recommended, Please consider a gradual dose reduction (GDR) while monitoring for re-emergence of target and/or withdrawal symptoms. The physician signed the report on 03/08/16 declining the recommendation of a GDR for the antipsychotic medication Risperdal (and provided the rationale for declining the recommendation). The Director of Nursing (DON) signed the report on 03/23/16. After reviewing the pharmacy consultation report on 02/27/17 at 12:40 p.m., the DON stated, I anticipate the GDRs being returned with physician decline or acceptance within two (2) weeks. Absolutely that is not a timely response as you can see it was over a month before he (Physician) filled out the form and longer for him (Physician) to return it to me, of course it is not timely. | 2020-02-01 |
