With the recent changes in the nursing sector, long term care facilities are required to submit census and staffing information in electronic form. This requirement aims at promoting accountability in nursing facilities. The payroll based journal was evolved as an electronic platform to be used in nursing activities. This platform is also used to collect staffing data in standardized format. When working with this platform, the following PBJ requirements should be met.

Nursing facilities should utilize the payroll based journal for accountability and fairness. A rating system was established to allow people to rate nursing homes found in their cities. Factors considered during rating include annual inspection results, staffing and the type of quality measures adopted in a facility. Some nursing homes have however adopted cheating mechanisms by changing their ratings.

Staffing information submitted to the payroll based journal should be verifiable and auditable. This measure aims to increase credibility and transparency. On the other hand, this measure also reduces fraudulent reporting hence enhancing fair competition in the nursing sector. Critics argue that the electronic system is ideal for both nursing providers and residents.

Long term care facilities should also be licensed by the federal authorities. These facilities are mandated by national nursing policies to offer services to the public based on the licensing conditions documented on their licenses. Other than licensing, nursing institutions should meet governmental requirements such as taxation. It should be noted that payroll data submission systems only apply to licensed institutions.

The payroll information submission system also works well with organized data. Along these lines, proprietors of nursing centers must list all contract personnel who work under their management in an organized manner. They should submit the information before the stated deadline reaches to evade penalties.

Nursing facilities are also mandated to capture and track information from multiple software products. Most institutions however find it hard to adhere to this requirement. Most of them handle employee data in different mechanisms such as payroll scheduling and attendance recording. These institutions are mandated to speak with software vendors and ensure that the software sold is authentic.

It is important to work with software vendors who are trustworthy. As an owner of a nursing institution, you can partner with the vendors to assist you with future staffing data queries. Before partnering with software providers, ask them about the advances they are making in the payroll data submission sector. Assess their products to determine whether they can suit your current workflow.

Staffing has been identified as an essential component in the delivery of quality nursing care. Staffing data is therefore used to help consumers to understand the organizational structure of different nursing institutions. Nursing authorities usually collect this data and use it in conducting quarterly reviews. The reviews focus on the number of personnel who offer care to clients in a facility each day. The data collected is also compared to the actual daily staffing for compliance reasons.
