Violations

1
Standard 8VAC20-780-510-B
Based on documentation review and interview, the center did not ensure that they obtained written authorization from the parent for medication. Evidence: Two emergency medications were on site for Child A on 2/10/22. There was no written authorization from the parent on site.
Plan of Correction: The missing signature for emergency medication consent was corrected the same day of the inspection. Future emergency medication will still be documented using the MAT Medication Consent Form. In the future, the Director/Administrator will highlight locations on the form where (parent & doctor) signatures are required as for the instructions. This will help ensure required signatures are included and not missed. In addition the Director and Administration have reviewed the forms to ensure they are filled out properly and completely.
