The deficiency, one of 15 cited during the August 19 inspection, centered on how the facility handled its drug supply, including controlled substances.

Inspectors graded the deficiency at the lower end of the severity scale, meaning no actual harm was documented.

Inspectors classified it as an isolated deficiency, meaning they did not find the problem spread throughout the facility.
