Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post daily nurse staffing information at the beginning of each shift as required. During an observation at the main entrance, the posted nurse staffing data was found to be outdated, displaying information from the previous day rather than the current date. The required posting should have included the facility name, current date, total number and actual hours worked by registered nurses, LPNs, certified nurse aides, and the resident census for each shift. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the MDS Coordinator, who acknowledged that the staffing data had not been posted for the current day. The issue had the potential to affect all 58 residents in the facility, as identified by the administrator's census.
