Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Data
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors found that the facility failed to post daily Nurse Staffing Data in a prominent area accessible to residents and visitors. During a tour of the first floor, the surveyor was unable to locate the required staffing information and confirmed this with the DON, Administrator, and Receptionist. The Receptionist stated she had not seen the Nurse Staffing Data that morning, and the DON explained that the scheduler, who is responsible for posting the data, was on vacation. The Administrator further confirmed that the scheduler was on Family Medical Leave of Absence and that the Nurse Staffing Data, which should be posted at the front desk, was not posted earlier that morning. No specific residents or their medical conditions were mentioned in relation to this deficiency.
