The Advantages Of The New PBJ Requirements

By Christine Barnes


PBJ or payroll based journal is the result of mandates of new employers where in they were brought by many requirements. These requirements include healthcare insurances. But PBJ has greatly affected the nursing homes and other care facilities which includes the skilled nursing facilities.

Payroll based journal wanted to achieve several goals. First is allowing the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services to gather more regular and more frequent data in the nursing houses. Second is ensuring data accuracy. Third is standardizing the gathering of data. Fourth is inspecting the quality of care given by the nursing houses. PBJ requirements may often be referred as peanut butter and jelly.

The ACA or Affordable Care Act requires the CMS to go ahead with the collection of data from all facilities which will include all the staffs in agencies. And to comply the requirement of ACA, the CMS developed the PBJ. All of nursing facilities were motivated to read and to review the manual of policies of the requirements.

The manual of PBJ policies provide all necessary background and information for the submission of requirement. This includes the submission deadlines, submission screens, and the definition of job categories. All the collected information will be entered to the PBJ system. These information are inputted quarterly within 45 days every after the end of quarter.

This requirement being proposed surely has created burden in the part of many facilities. And surely, the vendors of the software will be decreasing the workload in such facilities. They will have to require new payroll system, scheduling, and timekeeping as well. Non payroll staffs such as the therapists and the contracted workers will not be affected by the software systems since they will still use the manual entry of requirements. Therefore, the submission of it may require duplicate effort.

Ever since this is being implemented, the system became so critical on the part of some providers. Whenever failures will happen such as wrong reports or wrong data entry, there may be penalties. The idea was identified since it has delivered a better quality of care outcomes. Another very good advantage of this is consumers and some referral sources will be understanding more on the differences and levels of staffing of nursing homes.

Nowadays, this can be a very big problem to most providers, but the CMS understands them. While they are adjusting and adapting to this, CMS stated to refrain from imposing remedies on this. Aside from that, CMS will provide feedbacks and warnings to them to help them facilitate the requirement compliance.

Even though it affected the revenue goals, staffing, and also the operation costs, this is still a good thing. And one good advantage of it is it makes the managing and controlling of report processes easy, thus, resulting to cost reduction. It will also ensure the reporting requirement be met.

Meeting the requirement will help show all facilities that are providing quality care. And also, it minimizes the risk of having delayed reports and as well as having penalties. And even though this is time consuming, the consumers can still identify a very good facility for their loved ones.
