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% above the MA averageStrong reported staffing. The priority is keeping submissions accurate and on time so the rating reflects it.
- Weekend staffing drops 17% from the weekly averageCMS reports weekend staffing separately and surveyors look at it. Check whether weekend agency and per diem hours are making it into PBJ.
- Nursing turnover is 13 points above the MA averageHigh turnover drives agency spend, onboarding workload and PBJ errors from constant employee changes. Recruiting and onboarding support pays off quickly here.
