Review of a Medical Record Review (MRR) for Resident #7 dated 8/9/2024, revealed Pharmacist A completed a MRR for Resident #7 listing no recommendations.
Pharmacist A failed to identify the inaccurate transcription of Resident #7's Morphine Sulfate order.

She stated the facility nurse faxed the Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form and Medication Removal From Emergency Kit After Hours form to the pharmacy with the correct concentration dose but incorrect frequency on 8/8/2024 and the MRR conducted by Pharmacist A did not catch the morphine error despite receiving orders from the hospice agency, the Drug Receipt/Record/Disposition Form and Medication Removal From Emergency Kit After Hours form from the facility.
During an interview on 2/27/24 AT 11:00 AM, Pharmacist A stated the process for hospice patients is for the pharmacy to put orders into a profile.
The orders the pharmacy puts into the profile populates into a web-based program the contracting pharmacists use to complete the MRR.
Pharmacist A confirmed the profile entered by the pharmacy into the shared program was Morphine 100 mg/5 ml give 0.25 ml or 5 mg every 2 hours PRN.
Pharmacist A stated on 8/8/2024 the facility removed Morphine 100 mg/ 5 ml or 20 mg per 1 ml give 0.25 ml or 5 mg every 2 hours routinely from the emergency narcotic box.
Pharmacist A stated this was faxed to the pharmacy and considered a new order.
Pharmacist A stated the facility has 7 days to send the pharmacy a new signed prescription (script) by the provider to have on file.
Pharmacist A stated he performed his MRR on 8/9/2024 and the MAR in the EMR reads Morphine 20 mg per 5 ml give 0.25 ml q 2 hours routine.
Pharmacist A confirmed he should have caught the incorrect concentration, and he missed it.
Pharmacist A stated he didn't question the frequency because a hospice patient going from PRN to scheduled morphine is not unusual.
Pharmacist A stated he is not certain if the MAR is rechecked once the facility sends the signed script to the pharmacy, or if the order in the profile is changed.
Pharmacist A stated once he completes his original admission MRR his portion is finished, and he doesn't see any other orders.

The DON stated her
and transcribed as scheduled, not PRN.
The DON stated no harm came to the resident except that the patient's daughter reported her mother was drowsy.
The DON stated her corrective action was to correct the Morphine order on 8/13/2024 prior to discharge but just realized today the concentration on the corrected order was incorrect.
The DON stated measures taken to prevent recurrence of this incident were to educate LPN B, note the format of hospice orders and to ensure staff were looking at the PRN column.
The DON stated orders were still transcribed by a staff nurse, checked by another nurse, an MRR was still completed within 3 days and now the DON and ADON check all resident orders.
The DON stated they perform routine random audits as well, but these audits were not documented anywhere, and she had no record of audits being completed.
The DON stated LPN B was educated on her mistake.
The DON stated she did not educate the agency nurse who transcribed the morphine incorrectly because she was not her (facility) employee.
The DON stated she did not educate any other staff nurses on medication errors and did not include hospice, agency or pharmacy in her PIP.
The DON confirmed the QAPI Committee had identified a significant medication error as an area of concern for the facility but was not aware of the extent of the problem.
Continued interview confirmed the facility failed to perform a root cause analysis or thorough investigation for the significant medication error as the errors in morphine concentration were not identified even after the error was caught.
Further interview confirmed the facility failed to implement an effective plan to mitigate errors in transcribing orders by not including facility or agency staff nurses responsible for transcribing orders and not communicating the need for clear concise hospice orders with the hospice agency.
The QAPI Committee failed to ensure an effective Quality Assurance Program was in place to monitor and evaluate concerns related to significant medication errors.
