All staff have been immediately retrained on ¿How to complete the medical summary form and medication documentation procedures¿.
It is important that all medications (regardless of who is administering the medication) be appropriately and accurately recorded and documented on all paperwork that outlines medications for each individual.
To prevent this from reoccurring Triad CEO has immediately retrained the Program Director and Program Specialist and the Program Specialist has retrained all direct care residential staff at all residential homes specifically on current and accurate medication documentation. Additionally, the program specialist and medication administrator is tasked with a plan to check and sign off on the Medication Administration Records monthly and then once again during the quarterly progress report time. Every month all required forms will be reviewed again for accuracy by management personnel. Both the staff and the program specialist have roles and responsibilities to ensure accurate form completion. During a medical appointment the DSP is responsible for ensuring that the medical forms have accurate and current information prior to the appointment. This is extremely important so that all medical personnel are aware of any and all medications that are currently being prescribed. All medications will be listed on all paperwork regardless of who administers the medication. Staff are tasked with ensuring the name of the medication, the reason for prescribing the medication, and the dosage of the medication is accurate. The DSP will immediately notify the Program Specialist if any concerns arise as it relates to medication documentation. If any changes are made regarding any and all medication, then this information is immediately updated on all paperwork. The Program Specialist will review the medical summary forms monthly and then again during the quarterly review. The Program Specialist will cross-reference all medical appointment summary forms to ensure that all prescribed medications are current and accurate.
