Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nursing hours were accurately posted and updated daily for all days reviewed. Record review showed that the Daily Staffing Hours postings were not updated throughout the day to reflect actual staffing changes, but instead were taken down and corrected the following morning. Interviews with the staffing coordinator and the DON confirmed that staffing numbers and hours for each shift were not updated as changes occurred, and that the postings provided for review were corrected copies from the next day, not real-time updates. The staff involved were unaware that updates were required throughout the day and acknowledged that the postings were not being completed correctly.
