Look at the link, see what you think. The way I read it is the meds would have to have a clear link back to a licensed person. If I worked at a nursing home and only had my GED and they sent me to the pharmacy to get the days meds (because they didnt have a nurse) and asked me to hand them out. Then I would have to get oversight from a licesned person either verbally or in writing. If the labels were clearly spelled out with a procedure on how to dispense them and that label was written by a licensed person then I could legally do the job because the label is a written procedure.
There needs to be some type of communication from a licensed person (either verbal or written) to be seen as oversight. As a minimum this is what I would like to see in order to be comfortable the job was being done correctly.

According to agent Adrienne Baker who investigated for the ORS, HLA ,in order to have prescription meds on the property such Ritalin in the quantities that they were distributing, HLA should have had a DEA number. Now that was in 2006. Since HLA was forced into a CCI license there are clear regulatory laws regarding dispensing meds at a CCI. *See ORS/ DHR web-site.. Priot to licensing in DEC. OF 2006, whomever was available dispensed medication, which even without licensing was criminal. There were many errors and the children are who suffered.

So if HLA was in non compliance the audits would have picked this up during the licensing phase and during the follow-up audits. I didnt see the original findings but the last 2 years they seem to be okay in this area.
I would like to get more detail about pre 2007 to see how they were operating during the times the nurse was there and after whe was let go. I am sure if it was a bitter split and HLA was in non-compliance then she would have blown the whistle on them. I'll check out the ORS/DHR site as you suggested...
Thanks Jill

I can tell during my time there, there was no nurse. As to when she was let go I couldnt tell you. I know they hired someone back later on, but apparently that was the one they fired over email. So again by the standards you are citing HLA was and may currently be in violation.

so it seems we need some more detail to understand what they were doing pre 2007. We havent been able to get a handle on their procedures during this time or the chain of command of how the meds were handled.
Since 2007, If I am not mistake, HLA has been under the oversight of the ORS and had since been licensed.
