Failure to Accurately Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that daily nurse staffing sheets were accurately posted for three out of five days during the recertification survey. Observations revealed that the posted staffing sheets were missing required information, including the total number of residents in the facility (census) and the facility name. On one occasion, the staffing sheet displayed inconsistent dates on different parts of the form. During an interview, the DON stated she was unaware that the staffing sheets were incomplete and explained that the scheduler was responsible for posting them, but she would do so herself if the scheduler was unavailable. The facility's policy requires that the daily posting include the facility name, current date, and resident census, but these elements were not consistently documented.
