PBJ Tune-Up for Skilled Nursing Facilities: Understanding the Connection to Washington Staffing Requirements3/26/20241pm2pm
Venue
March 26, 2024
COURSE OVERVIEW
Skilled nursing facilities are required to submit quarterly payroll-based journal report to CMS. Those reports are used to validate compliance with staffing requirements in Washington state. It is critical that providers understand how to report this data accurately—failure to do will lead to citations and fines related to minimum staffing standards. This session is designed to provide an update about PBJ reporting standards—and will ensure that providers understand how to report payroll data, and why it is important to get it right! Recent civil monetary penalties have been significant and questionable; this session is designed to help providers mitigate potential risk.
During this one-hour session, participants will:
- Receive an update about PBJ reporting and re-implementation of Washington’s staffing standards.
- Learn how these reports are used to validate compliance with staffing standards.
- Understand what’s at stake when staffing minimums are not met.
- Understand the consequences and how fines should be calculated related to staffing below the required threshold
