Failure to Complete Annual Performance Evaluations for Nurse Aides
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete annual performance evaluations for three nurse aides, as required by its own policy. Review of personnel records for three nurse aides, each with varying hire dates, showed that none had annual performance evaluations documented based on their respective dates of hire. The facility's policy specifies that a performance review for nurse aides must be conducted at least every 12 months. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator, who acknowledged that the required annual evaluations had not been completed for the identified nurse aides. No information regarding the medical history or condition of any residents was included in the report, and the deficiency pertains solely to staff performance evaluation procedures.
