What stands out
- Staffing rating is 2 of 5 starsStaffing is weighted heavily in the overall rating. Missing agency hours, job code mapping errors or excluded staff in PBJ can understate the hours you actually provide.
- Reported nurse hours are 5% below the ME averageIf the building is staffed better than this, hours may be missing from the PBJ file. Agency staff, contract nurses and salaried nurse managers are the most common gaps.
- $8,824 in federal fines on recordFines are tied to survey findings. Staffing documentation, training records and personnel files are frequently part of the review.
