Don’t Let PBJ Sink Your Survey: Navigate Staffing Compliance with Confidence

Smooth sailing or storm ahead? Learn how PBJ reporting impacts your survey.

As CMS intensifies its focus on staffing sufficiency and transparency, nursing homes must treat Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) reporting as more than a quarterly task — it’s a compliance battleground. One wrong move in your PBJ submission can trigger citations under F851, drop your Five-Star staffing rating and raise red flags before surveyors ever set foot in your facility.

In this practical and timely webinar, we’ll show you how to connect the dots between PBJ accuracy, survey readiness and Five-Star ratings, and what to do now to avoid preventable penalties.

Don’t let avoidable data errors sink your next survey! Join us to chart a smarter, safer course. You’ll walk away with a simplified PBJ reporting checklist and a sample staff interview prep guide to boost your survey confidence.
