Inaccurate Posting of Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that daily posted nurse staffing information was accurate and up to date, as required. During a staffing review, surveyors compared the posted nurse staffing sheets with the facility's punch in and out reports and found multiple discrepancies. On several reviewed days, the posted total direct care hours and Hours Per Patient Day (HPPD) did not match the actual hours recorded in the facility's timekeeping system. Additionally, on some days, the census was not indicated on the staffing sheet as required. These inaccuracies were confirmed by the Senior Administrator during the survey. The facility census at the time was 111 residents. No specific residents or their medical histories were mentioned in the report, and the deficiency was identified as having the potential to affect more than a limited number of residents.
