Key drivers

  • latest public national average near 3.9 HPRD
  • slow upward drift in fetched national staffing anchors
  • July refresh rolls staffing measures onto the next PBJ quarter
  • federal staffing policy pressure is gradual rather than a discrete July step

rule
Resolve to the NATION row value of 'Reported Total Nurse Staffing Hours per Resident per Day' in the first NH_StateUSAverages file CMS posts at the Care Compare refresh scheduled for 2026-07-29 (the July 2026 quarterly staffing update; schedule per the dataset metastore next-update field), rounded to three decimals. The refresh carries nurse staffing measures onto the next Payroll-Based Journal quarter. If CMS posts the refresh on a different calendar day, resolve to the first file posted at that refresh; ignore later monthly refreshes and revisions.
