Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post required daily nurse staffing information at the beginning of each shift, including the facility name, current date, total number and actual hours worked by RNs, LPNs, and CNAs directly responsible for resident care per shift, and the resident census. On observation at 11:30 AM, the nurse staffing data posted at the main entrance was dated two days prior and had not been updated for the current day, despite a current census of 109 residents as reported by the Administrator. In an interview shortly thereafter, the Interim Director of Nursing confirmed that the nurse staffing data is required to be posted daily and acknowledged that it had not been posted for the current day. This deficient practice was identified by surveyors through direct observation of the posting location and through staff interview, establishing that the facility was not in compliance with daily staffing posting requirements on the day of the survey.
