Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post required nurse staffing data at the beginning of each shift, including the total number and actual hours worked by nursing staff. Upon entry to the facility's lobby and on both nursing units, there was no visible signage displaying the names or hours of nursing staff working in the building. Observations revealed that the only available information was an outdated dry erase board on one unit, listing staff names from a previous date, and another board that listed names but not hours. Multiple observations confirmed the absence of required postings over two days. Interviews with the Assistant Director of Nursing and the Human Resources Director confirmed that the staffing information had not been posted, with the ADON attributing this lapse to the scheduler's absence and the HR Director acknowledging responsibility for posting the hours during this period.
