Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post nurse staffing information on a daily basis as required, affecting a census of 81 residents. On review of the CMS-671 dated 1/5/26, the facility census was confirmed as 81. During an interview on 1/6/26 at 9:19 AM, the scheduler stated that the ADON is responsible for posting the daily staffing on the bulletin board. However, at 10:09 AM on the same day, the nurse staffing information posted on the facility’s bulletin board was found to be dated 1/2/26, indicating that it had not been updated daily. The facility’s Posting of Staffing Report Policy, reviewed in 2/25, states that staff will complete and update the daily Staffing Report each day and post it in a prominent, readily accessible place with the daily census and date displayed, which was not followed in this instance. This failure to update and post the staffing report daily was identified through observation, staff interview, and record review, and was determined to be inconsistent with the facility’s own policy and applicable state and federal requirements for daily staffing postings.
