The facility will ensure that the state minimum staffing requirement of 3.2 PPD is met in order to ensure the health and safety of all residents. Facility is unable to retroactively correct concern of minimum staffing requirement not being met on the cited dates.
Facility will continue to ensure all efforts are exhausted to maintain the minimum staffing requirement of 3.2 PPD on a daily basis to ensure the health and safety of all residents. Facility will continue to acquire agency staff as needed to meet the 3.2 PPD requirement. Recruitment efforts are under way and a plan is in place. Bonuses will be offered to all staff to pick up shifts. Facility recently added a new $3/shift differential for evening shift CNAs to promote recruitment and retention. Facility also signed with new staffing agency to supplement needs.
Regional Clinical Consultant will re-educate Administrator, Director of Nursing, and staffing coordinator on "Nursing Department Staff" policy which outlines the minimum staffing requirements and steps that are to be taken in order to ensure staffing requirements are met in order to ensure the health and safety of all residents.
Administrator or designee will audit staffing levels five times a week for four weeks and then monthly for three months to ensure the minimum staffing requirement of 3.2 PPD is met to ensure the health and safety of all residents.
The results of these audits will be reported to the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Committee for review, recommendations, and frequency of audits.
