Level 1 Amber User: Vanessa Headstream Date: 7/31/2013 2:37:16 PM
Corrective Plan: Problem Identified: Incomplete MARs
Discussion and Action Plan: As a result of this finding, the FHA and DON have instituted a process of confirming
that all medications currently prescribed for patients have an accurate MAR. The 26th of each month prior to the
printing of the MARs, the DON shall run a census (through AIMS) of all inmates in designated housing areas
(excluding intakes) and distribute this census to the nursing staff responsible for those areas. Nursing staff shall
then do a chart review of each patient and confirm that MARs are accurate and present in the MAR books. Nurses
shall notate on the census report if MARs are present and accurate and shall immediately correct or replace any
missing or inaccurate MARs. At the completion of this task, the census report shall be delivered back to the DON for
review and a copy of this report shall be maintained in the DON's office for compliance inspection by contract
monitors. These reports shall be made available on the second Monday of each month. Inventory coordinators may
assist in this task as supervised by nursing staff.
Responsible Person: Nursing staff assigned to units for task completion. DON for review and training. FHA for
process implementation/development/direction.
Status: Initial reviews will begin immediately and the formal process is to begin August 2013. First reports with any
luck will be available on August 12th.
