F-Tag Library On-Demand Series-[UPDATED!] F732 Posted Nurse Staffing Information

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This presentation addresses F732, the regulatory requirement for nursing homes to post daily nurse staffing information. Facilities must display, at each shift's start, the facility name, date, resident census, and actual hours worked by licensed nurses (RNs, LPNs/LVNs) and CNAs in a clear, accessible, and prominent location. Staffing data must include all facility-paid nursing staff, including contractors, but exclude hospice or privately hired companions. Data must be maintained for at least 18 months and made available on request. Non-compliance occurs if data is inaccurate, incomplete, not posted visibly, or unavailable to the public. To regain compliance, facilities must analyze root causes, develop corrective action plans addressing all affected residents, update policies, train staff, and implement monitoring with frequency adjustments based on results. Leadership should use audit pathways and probe questions to maintain compliance. APACN offers tools and resources to support these processes. Ongoing education and documentation are critical for sustaining compliance.
