PBJ320 turns public CMS Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) files into staffing you can look up by nursing home—quarterly HPRD, RN/LPN/aide mix, contract share where reported, and how a facility compares to others in its state for the same quarter.
Spotting trends, comparing facilities or states, and preparing questions—not for proving harm, neglect, or violations on its own. PBJ does not show shift-by-shift bedside staffing; confirm anything important on Care Compare or CMS source files. What PBJ is: PBJ explained. The metric: What is HPRD?.
Search by facility or open state staffing reports.
