submit its nurse staffing plan to the Department on an annual basis;
evaluate its nurse staffing plan on a quarterly basis and, based on complaints and recommendations of patients and staff, revise the nurse staffing plan accordingly;
prepare a quarterly report containing the details of the evaluation;
update its emergency management plans annually and as often as necessary, as circumstances warrant, and include specific provisions to maximize staffed-bed capacity and appropriate utilization of hospital beds to the extent necessary for a public health emergency;
report to the Department the hospital’s current staffed-bed capacity, in a form and manner determined by the Department;
notify the Department if the hospital’s ability to meet staffed-bed capacity falls below 80% of the required baseline in a specified period and submit a plan to staff the hospital at 80% or above of its staffed-bed capacity within thirty (30) days; and
assign direct-care providers only to a nursing unit or clinical area of a hospital that the provider is properly trained in. |
