ResCare Minnesota, Inc. Reports: 201802057, 201802068, 201802084, 201802087, 201802098 Page 7 issuance of the erroneous order, prescription, plan, or directive or knows or should have known of the errors and took no reasonable measures to correct the defect before administering care; (2) the comparative responsibility between the facility, other caregivers, and requirements placed upon the employee, including but not limited to, the facility's compliance with related regulatory standards and factors such as the adequacy of facility policies and procedures, the adequacy of facility training, the adequacy of an individual's participation in the training, the adequacy of caregiver supervision, the adequacy of facility staffing levels, and a consideration of the scope of the individual employee's authority; and (3) whether the facility or individual followed professional standards in exercising professional judgment. Although the petty cash pouches were stored in the SP's locked office, the pouches were not stored in a locked file cabinet as they should have been and more than one staff person had access to the SP's office and/or had access to a key to access the SP's office. Given that there was no direct evidence that the SP was responsible for taking the missing money, the responsibility for the financial exploitation of VAI-VA8 was inconclusive. Action Taken by Facility: The facility completed an internal review, and determined that policies and procedures were not followed. The facility made changes so that any time money is transferred between parties, two staff persons are required to count the money and sign that they counted the money. All staff persons received training on this change. Action Taken by Department of Human Services, Office of Inspector General: No further action taken.
