Based on observation, staff interview and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure the temperature of one medication refrigerator was checked on a daily basis and to take corrective action when the temperature was out of range. This affected one of three medication refrigerators inspected. The census at the time of the survey was 63.
Findings include:

1. The medication refrigerator on Oldham unit was observed on 07/18/16 at 1:35 PM. The temperature reading was not recorded for the day yet. The refrigerator contained insulin and vials of ativan.
Review of the posted Refrigerator/Freezer Temperature Record for the same unit revealed on 10 of 17 days in July when the temperature was checked, it was out of the acceptable range of 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
Further review of the Refrigerator/Temperature Record revealed a "Note" to "notify the pharmacy if Medication Refrigerator temperatures are not within the appropriate ranges." The Record also contained a section entitled Corrective Action. Step one (1) instructed staff to "first adjust the thermostat. Wait an hour and recheck the temperature."
Per Step two (2), "if the reading is still outside the acceptable range, check the thermometer to make sure it is working properly."
Step three (3) instructed staff to notify the Nursing Supervisor and "complete a work order for maintenance." There was no evidence any of these steps were followed when reading was out of acceptable range.
