9986 LAUREL BAYE HEALTHCARE GREENVILLE 425042 661 RUTHERFORD RD GREENVILLE SC 29609 2010-07-21 356 C 0 1 2B2D11 On the days of the survey, based on observation and interview, the facility failed to post complete staffing data. The facility failed to post the number of Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and the actual hours worked by category for each shift on the Staff Posting forms. The facility also failed to post the data in a prominent location readily accessible to visitors and residents as required. The findings included: Observation on 7/19/10 at approximately 5:20 PM and on 7/20/10 at approximately 10:50 AM revealed the number of RNs and LPNs and the actual hours worked by category were not posted on the Staff Posting forms for the 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM shift, the 3:00 PM - 11:00 PM shift or the 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM shift on those dates but were posted as "Licensed Nurses." During observations throughout the survey, the Staff Posting forms were posted behind the nursing stations and not displayed in a prominent location readily accessible to visitors and residents. Copies of the Staff Posting forms for the last 30 days were requested on 7/20/10. Review of these forms revealed the number of RNs and LPNs and the actual hours worked by category were not posted on the Staff Posting form on any of these dates as required but were posted as "Licensed Nurses." Review of the Staff Posting forms for the last 31 days revealed that on all of the last 31 days, the Staff Posting forms indicated 6 nurses for the 3:00 PM - 11:00 PM shift. Review of the 24 Hour Assignment sheets revealed that on 22 of the last 31 days, 6 nurses worked from 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM but only 5 nurses worked from 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM. During an interview on 7/21/10 at approximately 11:30 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the posting did not list the Licensed Nurses by category or include the actual hours worked. The DON also confirmed that the Licensed Nurses worked 12 hour shifts and that the number of nurses that worked between 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM and 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM was different and was not reflected on the Staff Posting form. She/He also verified that the Staff Posting form was posted behind each of the nursing stations but not in a prominent area accessible to visitors and residents. 2014-08-01
