6400.168(d) | Staff person #1's medication practicum could not be determined if it had been completed annually. | A staff person who administers prescription medications and insulin injections to an individual shall complete and pass the Medications Administration Course Practicum annually. | Corrected 1/25/18. Although this was listed as an area of non-compliance, KenCCID did not fail to review and observe medication practicums every 6 months according to the Medication Administration Program. The misinterpretation was on the ODP communication; issue date 6/10/16, referencing the annual practicum revision to Two MAR reviews ' 1 every 6 months, Two Medication Observation ' 1 every 6 months.
The identified staff (DA) successfully completed the Medication Administration Training course on 1/24/18 and 1/25/18. (DA) successfully completed her fourth medication administration observation on 2/16/18. See attachments #2
To avoid recurrence of non-compliance, a re-reading of ODP bulletin communication; issue date 6/10/16 referencing annual practicum revisions was completed on date 2/2/2018 by the Compliance Director, and it is now clearly understood that the initial Medication Administration Training dates; the date the fourth observation is complete, should be used to determine the six months practicum. See attachment #2a Six months practicums will follow all initial MAR and due date will be electronically recorded on our MITC electronic system managed by the Training Specialist, who will ensure compliance. See attachment #2b
The Compliance Director completed an audit of employee training records, and determined an additional staff required correcting. The identified staff (JB) successfully completed the Medication Administration Training course on 1/24/18 and 1/25/18. (JB) successfully completed his fourth medication administration observation on 3/10/18. See attachment #2c |
