Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information with Facility Name
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that required nurse staffing information was posted daily and that the posting included the facility name, as mandated by policy. On observation, the staffing information displayed in the main lobby was found to be outdated by two days and lacked the facility name. Interviews with the administrator, health unit coordinator, and staffing coordinator revealed confusion regarding responsibility for updating the posting during the staffing coordinator's paid time off. The staffing coordinator also confirmed that the omission of the facility name on the posting had been ongoing since September 2024 and had not been noticed or addressed. The facility's policy required daily posting of nurse staffing information at the beginning of each shift, including the facility name, but this was not followed.
