  44. Medication Administration Continued… • Medication Errors • The importance of the “Triple Check” • Reporting a Medication Error: 1) Inform the CIST immediately 2) Leave medication in the bubble pack 3) Fill out specific Med Error ERF

  45. Med Error Policy • MEDICATION ERRORS • A medication error includes any failure to administer medication as prescribed for a particular consumer, including failure to administer the medication: • 1. To the right client • 2. Right medication • 3. In the right dose • 4. In the right route • 5. At the right time • 6. For the right reason • 7. Right response • 8. Right documentation after the medication is administered. • *Please note that documentation/charting errors are also considered medication errors. • Staff must report a medication error within one hour from the start of their shift or when first arriving at the home or they assume the same medication error as the staff who made the error and all disciplinary action that follows. • In the event of a medication error, (staff see a blank on the MAR, medication still in bubble pack, and no documentation on PRN medications or any other errors) staff are to immediately notify the QDDP. • The QDDP will notify the ISL Director. The QDDP is to determine if the error is a documentation error or a medication error. The QDDP shall then notify the parent or guardian and Community RN upon discovery of a medication error. Documentation errors will be handed by the QDDP. The QDDP or supervising employee shall document the effort to reach the parent or guardian. If there is a question of potential harm to the consumer, the QDDP or supervising employee shall also notify the consumer’s health care provider/physician. In addition, poison control can immediately be notified (1-800-222-1222), particularly if the consumer’s physician is not immediately available. • Home Supervisors or QDDP are to circle the medication error on the MAR after notification has been made to the QDDP. • Staff shall fill out a medication error form, fax it to the office and file the original form behind the MAR. • If the error is a reportable event to DMH then the QDDP or supervising employee will need to complete a Community Event Report Form within 24 hours of discovery. The Community Event Report Form should then be faxed to DMH within this timeframe. These reports shall be retained in the consumer’s permanent file at the agency location. They shall be made available to the Department of Mental Health and/or any other joint agency. • If an employee is found at fault or negligent in medication administration, that employee may be subject to any of the following disciplinary action: • 1. Involuntary unpaid meeting with QMRP, which may be handled via phone, but will include feedback form placed in employee’s permanent work file • 2. Written warning that includes 30 day probation • 3. Additional unpaid meeting/training by Community RN or the RN designee (Staff that fail to take have the meeting within seven days will be suspended without pay. • 4. Repeat of Medication 1 training/re-certification at expense of employee within 30 days. • 5. Termination for serious offense and/or intentional failure to report • -The above disciplinary action will typically occur in a sequential fashion starting with step 1 and progressing as additional medication and documentation errors occur depending on the severity of the incident. Once a period of 6 months passes, previous medication/documentation errors will be potentially disregarded when taking into account future disciplinary action at the discretion of the ISL Director and HR Director. • If the medication error is life threatening or has serious consequences to the client the disciplinary action can accelerate to termination. • If any employee has any doubt as to how to properly administer a medication, a supervisor should be contacted.

  46. Restraints & Time Outs • MANDT • Last Resort • Keeping you and your client safe • Cannot be used as a punishment • Must be the choice of the consumer • Time out = No Break = Yes
