## Abstract

This proposed rule would establish a new data collection and recordkeeping requirement for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and nursing facilities (NFs). We are proposing that SNFs and NFs complete a CMS-specified form at the end of each shift, on a daily basis, to post the full-time equivalents (FTEs) of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and certified nurse aides who are directly responsible for resident care. We also propose that SNFs and NFs use this form to capture and display daily resident census information. These facilities would also be required to make this information available to the public upon request.
