Failure to Include Facility Census on Daily Posted Nurse Staffing Reports
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure required daily nurse staffing information was accurately posted because the daily staffing reports did not include the facility census, affecting all 51 residents. Surveyors observed on multiple dates that the daily staffing reports posted in the 100 hallway near the Social Services office listed the number of nursing staff scheduled and/or working for each shift but did not include the corresponding facility census. Additional review of Daily Staffing Reports from early December through mid-January showed that only four reports contained census information, while the remaining 42 lacked this required data. During an interview, the DON stated she was unaware that the automated Daily Staff Reports were missing census information and acknowledged that census was important because it would affect staffing requirements from one day to the next. No specific resident medical histories or conditions were described in the report, only that 51 of 51 residents had the potential to be affected by the incomplete public posting of staffing information.
