Failure to Post Actual Nurse Staffing Hours Daily
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post the actual hours worked for nursing staff each day over a five-day survey period. Observations on multiple days showed that the posted nurse staffing information listed 0.00 actual hours worked for each discipline on each shift. Interviews with the staff schedule coordinator and the human resources specialist confirmed that while actual hours worked were tracked in the computer system, they were not posted as required. The administrator was unaware that the postings were not being updated with actual hours worked, despite the expectation that this information be updated at the beginning of each shift. This failure prevented residents, family members, and visitors from accessing accurate information about the number of available nursing staff in the facility during the survey period.
