Findings include:
Review of nursing staffing documents for the time period of 7/1/24 through 7/7/24, and 7/11/24 through 7/17/24, revealed the following per patient day (PPD) hours:
7/1/24 3.18 PPD 7/2/24 3.11 PPD 7/3/24 3.15 PPD 7/6/24 3.17 PPD 7/7/24 3.19 PPD 7/11/24 3.19 PPD 7/13/24 3.18 PPD 7/14/24 3.02 PPD 7/17/24 3.17 PPD
