3. DON/designee will re-educate the scheduler on the proper CNA staffing ratio. The facility will continue to recruit and attempt to hire new staff. The facility will hold labor meetings Monday-Friday to verify CNA staffing ratio is made.
4. DON/designee will conduct random audits of facility CNA staffing ratios weekly for four weeks, then monthly for two months thereafter to verify proper CNA staffing ratios.. Results of audits will be reviewed by the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Committee and changes will be made as necessary.
