Failure to Consistently Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to consistently post daily nurse staffing sheets at the beginning of each shift, as required. On one of the five days surveyed, the posted staffing sheet in the lobby was outdated, displaying information from two days prior. Additionally, a review of records revealed that the staffing sheet for one day within a 31-day period was missing. Interviews with the Scheduler indicated a lack of understanding regarding the process for printing and posting staffing information for days other than the current day, and uncertainty about whether staffing information was posted during weekends or throughout the month. The interim Administrator confirmed that weekend nursing staff should have access to the necessary information to ensure timely and accurate posting.
