Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure
the pharmaceutical services including accurate acquiring, receiving, dispensing, and record keeping were maintained to meet the needs of each resident as evidenced by:
* The facility failed to ensure the medications removed from the emergency kit were replaced in a timely manner.
* The facility failed to ensure the controlled drug count reconciliation logs were properly accounted for and documented.
These failures had the potential for not having the medications available for use in case of emergency and drug diversion.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Controlled Medication Storage effective 8/2014 showed at each shift change, a physical inventory of all controlled medications, including the emergency supply is conducted by two licensed nurses and is documented on the controlled medication accountability record. Any discrepancy
in controlled substance medication count is reported to the Director of Nursing immediately. The Director or designee investigates and makes every reasonable effort to reconcile all reported discrepancies. The director of nursing documents irreconcilable discrepancies in a report to the administrator.

F 0881 Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 46787 potential for actual harm Based on interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility Residents Affected - Some failed to ensure the antibiotics were prescribed and administered to the residents under the guidance of their antibiotic stewardship program.
* The facility failed to monitor and address the use of antibiotics when the resident's condition did not meet
the McGeer's criteria (a set of specific definitions to identify true infections in long term nursing facilities) for six nonsampled residents (Residents 38, 63, 71, 593, 594, and 595).
* The facility failed to ensure their antibiotic surveillance tracking forms included outcome and adverse events during the months of January 2024 through May 2024.
These failures had the potential for antibiotics to be used when it was not indicated and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Findings:
According to the CDC's guidances, an estimated 70% of nursing home residents receive one or more courses of antibiotics during a year. Studies have shown that 40% to 75% of the antibiotics prescribed in nursing homes may be unnecessary or inappropriate. Frail and older adults are at significant risk of harm from antibiotic overuse including increased adverse drug events, increased drug interactions and infection with antibiotic-resistant organisms. The World Health Organization (WHO) cites antibiotic resistance as one of the three biggest threats to human health.
Review of the facility's P&P titled Antibiotic Stewardship dated 9/18/23, showed antibiotics will be prescribed and administered to residents under the guidance of the facility's antibiotic stewardship program. All clinical infections treated with antibiotics will undergo review by the infection preventionist, or designee. The IP, or designee, will review antibiotic utilization as part of the antibiotic stewardship program and identify specific situations that are not consistent with the appropriate use of antibiotics. At the conclusion of the review, the provider will be notified of the findings. All resident antibiotic regimens will be documented on the facility-approved antibiotic surveillance tracking form. The information gathered will include: . outcome and adverse events.
On 6/12/24 at 1102 hours, a concurrent interview, medical record review, and facility document review was conducted with the IP. The IP stated within her role as the facility's infection preventionist, she was responsible for the oversight of the facility's antibiotic stewardship program. The IP stated a component of
the facility's antibiotic stewardship program consisted of conducting a review of residents prescribed antibiotics and determining whether those residents had met McGeer's criteria of a true infection. The IP stated when a resident was prescribed antibiotics and failed to meet McGeer's criteria, the resident's physician would then be notified the resident had not met McGeer's criteria. The IP stated the rationale for notifying the physician when a resident was prescribed antibiotics had not met McGeer's criteria, was to provide the physician with the opportunity to discontinue unnecessary antibiotics. The IP stated the unnecessary use of antibiotics was associated with resident adverse events and the development of MDROs.

Further review of Residents 38 and 595's medical records failed to show documented evidence the residents' physicians were notified that these residents did not meet the McGeer's criteria (thus potentially preventing
the physicians from discontinuing the antibiotics for these residents).
Review of Residents 63, 71, 593, and 594's medical records was conducted with the IP. The IP verified Residents 63, 71, 593, and 594 were prescribed antibiotics; however, antibiotic surveillance information was not collected.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 46787 potential for actual harm Based on interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility Residents Affected - Few failed to offer and provide education for COVID-19, influenza, and pneumococcal immunizations for three of 22 final sampled residents (Resident 2, 15, and 75).
* The facility failed to provide education and offer the COVID-19 and influenza immunizations to Resident 75.
* The facility failed to offer and provide education for PCV 15/20 (PCV 15 protects against two additional serotypes and PCV 20 protects against seven additional serotypes involved in cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and pneumonia) for Residents 2, 15, and 75.
These failures increased the risk for residents to be inadequately vaccinated for COVID-19, influenza, and pneumococcal disease and not be informed of its associated complications.
Findings:
Review of the new CDC guidelines titled Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) dated 1/28/22, for
the use of 15-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV15) and 20-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV20) among U.S. Adults: Updated Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (APIC) in the United States as of 2022 showed the ACIP recommended PCV15 or PCV20 for adults who are either aged [AGE] years and older or aged 19-[AGE] years with certain underlying conditions. When PCV15 is used, it should be followed by a dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), typically one year later.
The previous CDC's Pneumococcal Vaccine guidelines, prior to 1/2022 update, showed the recommendations for pneumococcal vaccination (PCV13 or Prevnar13(R), and PPSV23 or Pneumovax23(R)) for all adults [AGE] years or older. For adults [AGE] years or older who have not previously received PCV13, should receive a dose of PCV13 first, followed 1 year later by a dose of PPSV23.
Review of the CDC's guidelines for Pneumococcal Vaccination reviewed 9/22/23, showed the following:
- for adults [AGE] years or older who had never received any pneumococcal vaccine regardless of risk conditions, give one dose of PCV 15 or PCV 20 (PCV 15 protects against two additional serotypes and PCV 20 protects against seven additional serotypes involved in cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and pneumonia). When PCV 15 is used, it should be followed by a dose of PPSV 23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, use for protected adults and children older than 2 years of age against invasive disease caused by the 23 capsular serotypes contained in the vaccine) at least one year later. The minimum interval (eight weeks) can be considered in adults with an immunocompromising condition, cochlear implant, or cerebrospinal fluid leak. Their vaccines will then be complete. When PCV 20 is used, it does not need to be followed by a dose of PPSV 23. Their vaccines are then completed. For adults [AGE] years or older who had only received PPSV 23 regardless of risk condition, give one dose of PCV 15 or PCV 20 at least one year after the most recent PPSV 23 vaccination. Regardless of vaccine given, an additional dose of PPSV 23 is not recommended since they already received it. Their vaccines are then completed.
