SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES

change.

Minimum Nursing Coverage Licensed nursing coverage will be maintained at all times in accordance with state and federal regulations. CNA staffing will support timely completion of activities of daily living (ADLs) and resident safety.

Additional licensed staff may be scheduled to support admissions, treatments, wound care, IV therapy, care coordination, and clinical oversight as needed.

Acuity and Throughput Adjustments Staffing levels may be increased to support high-acuity or short-term rehabilitation populations, new admissions and census growth, behavioral or complex medical needs, infection outbreaks, enhanced monitoring requirements, and safe throughput with reduced delays in care transitions.

Overtime and Agency Use Overtime and agency staff may be utilized to ensure safe staffing when internal resources are insufficient.

Agency use is intended as a temporary solution and will be monitored for cost, quality, and consistency.

Recruitment, retention, and scheduling efficiencies will be pursued to reduce reliance on agency staffing.

Scheduling and Accountability Department leaders are responsible for maintaining schedules that ensure adequate coverage, minimize burnout, and promote staff retention.

Staffing variances and call-ins will be addressed promptly to protect resident safety.

Monitoring and Review Staffing effectiveness will be monitored through quality indicators, incident reports, survey outcomes, overtime and agency utilization, and budget variance analysis.

This policy will be reviewed and updated as operational needs evolve.Overtime and Agency Use Overtime and agency staff may be utilized to ensure safe staffing when internal resources are insufficient.
