What these words mean3
- Star ratings
- CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System.
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.

Ic - Oversight: Monitor Activities & Implement Policies
The inspectors’ words, 529 words
“IC-O-SIGHT-MONITOR ACTIVITY/IMPLEMENT P&P CFR(s): 494.30(b)(1) The facility must- (1) Monitor and implement biohazard and infection control policies and activities within the dialysis unit; This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 38573 Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide and monitor a sanitary environment when: 1. Six red sharps container located outside the nurses station had splatters of blood on top of the container lid; and 2. One used venous catheter ( also called a central venous catheter (CVC), a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a large vein in the neck, chest, or arm and carries blood to a dialysis machine) with blood was sticking out on top of the red sharp container lid. Failure to practice standard precautions (cleaning and disinfecting) and failure to maintain a clean and sanitary environment in the unit, and in areas frequently visited by staff during patient treatment had the potential for cross-contamination of microorganisms causing infections to all patients receiving dialysis. Findings: 1. During an observation 8/6/24, at 2:38 p.m., six red sharps containers outside the nurse’s station had multiple splatters of blood on top of the lid. During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/6/24, at 2:40 p.m., with registered nurse A (RN A), he confirmed the above observation and stated the six sharp containers should have been cleaned and disinfected. During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/9/24 at 10:15 a.m., with the facility administrator (FA), he stated that sharp containers with visible blood or gross blood spills should have been cleaned with a 1:10 (1 part bleach, 9 parts water) bleach solution and cleaning of visible blood should be performed when first observed by the facility staff. 2. During an observation n 8/6/24, at 2:39 p.m., one used CVC with blood was sticking out on top of the red sharp container lid. During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/6/24, at 2:42 p.m., with RN A, he confirmed the above observation and stated that it should had been disposed properly inside the sharp container not sticking outside the lid. During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/9/24 at 10:20 a.m., with the FA, he reviewed the facility policy and procedure and stated that sharps containers must be replace when they are ¾ full. Review of the facility’s policy and procedure dated 1/05/01, title “INFECTION CONTROL FOR DIALYSIS FACILITIES” indicated cleaning and disinfection of equipment and work surfaces will be performed as soon as possible following to blood or other potentially infectious materials (i.e. used or brought into the station) and prior to returning to clean/designated area or removal from treatment area .... Prior to routine disinfection, remove all visible blood .... For visible blood or gross blood spills, a 1:10 (one to ten) bleach solution must be utilized. After all visible blood is cleaned with the 1:10 bleach solution and clean area a second time and cleaning of visible blood should be performed when first observed. Review of the facility’s policy and procedure dated 4/03/01, title “CALIFORNIA MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN” indicated sharps containers must be replace when they are ¾ full. The containers are considered full at this level.”
