76	GUARDIAN ELDER CARE AT WHEELING	515002	20 HOMESTEAD AVENUE	WHEELING	WV	26003	2019-08-06	756	F	0	1	WJ7O11	Based on policy review and staff interview, the facility failed to develop and maintain policies and procedures for the monthly drug regimen review that include, but are not limited to, time frames for the different steps in the monthly medication regimen review (MRR) process. This practice has the potential to affect all residents. Facility census: 140. Findings included: a) The facility policy titled Consultant Pharmacist Reports with an effective date of (MONTH) 23, 2019, states the Consultant Pharmacist performs a comprehensive medication regimen review (MRR) at least monthly. --Comments and recommendations concerning medication therapy are communicated in a timely fashion. The timing of these recommendations should enable a response prior to the next medication review. In the event of a problem requiring the immediate attention of the prescriber, the responsible prescriber or physician's designee is contacted by the consultant pharmacist or the facility, and the prescriber response is documented on the consultant pharmacist review record or elsewhere in the resident's medical record. --Recommendations are acted upon and documented by the facility staff and/or the prescriber in non-urgent cases within 30 days. If the prescriber does not respond to the recommendations directed to him/her, the Director of Nursing (DON) and/or the consultant pharmacist, may contact the Medical Director. The policy lacked specific time frames for facility notification including Physician notification and response time for urgent and non-urgent recommendations. After review of the facility MRR policy on 07/31/19 at 3:25 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the policy did not contain detailed specific time frames for facility notification including Physician notification and response time for urgent and non-urgent recommendations. She stated, the pharmacist is here monthly, does notify us in writing and there has not been a problem.	2020-09-01
