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 - Wear Gloves/Hand Hygiene
The inspectors’ words, 523 words
“IC-WEAR GLOVES/HAND HYGIENE CFR(s): 494.30(a)(1) Wear disposable gloves when caring for the patient or touching the patient’s equipment at the dialysis station. Staff must remove gloves and wash hands between each patient or station. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 40079 Based on observation, document review, and interview, it was determined that for 3 of 6 staff (E #2, E #3 and E #4) observed performing initiation and/or discontinuation of dialysis for patients, the Facility failed to ensure staff adhered to hand hygiene practices as required. Findings include: 1. During observational tour of the treatment floor conducted on 06/11/2024 between 9:30 AM to 10:55 AM, the following was observed: -At approximately 9:35 AM, a Registered Nurse (RN-E #2) was observed at station #8 performing an initiation of dialysis treatment on a patient with AV (arteriovenous) fistula (dialysis access). E #2 with gloved hands accessed the patient’s dialysis access and applied tape to secure the lines. E #2 then worked on the dialysis screen, then primed the dialysis tubing connected to the machine, then returned to the patient and connected the dialysis tubing to the patient’s dialysis access line without performing hand hygiene. -At approximately 10:15 AM, a Patient Care Technician (PCT-E #3) was observed at station #17 performing an initiation of dialysis treatment on a patient. E #3 cannulated the patient’s dialysis access and applied tape, then turned to the dialysis machine and worked on the computer, then took the dialysis tubing connected to the machine and primed the tubing, E #3 proceeded to connect the dialysis tubing to the patient’s dialysis access without performing hand hygiene. -At approximately 10:36 AM, a PCT (E #3) was observed at station #11 performing a discontinuation of dialysis treatment on a patient with a central venous catheter (CVC). E #3 was working on dialysis computer screen with gloved hands, then turned to the patient and clamped the blood lines from the CVC ports, then continued to work on the computer screen, then returned to the patient to disconnect one of the lines from one of the CVC ports without performing hand hygiene. -At approximately 10:45 AM, a PCT (E #4) was observed at station #3 performing an initiation of dialysis treatment. E #4 with gloved hands accessed patient’s dialysis access. E #4 took the dialysis tubing and primed them, and while holding the lines with one hand, used the other hand to work on the dialysis computer screen. E #4 then turned to connect the lines to the blood lines without performing hand hygiene. 2. On 06/11/2024, the Facility’s policy titled, “Hand Hygiene” (revised 11/06/2023), was reviewed and included, “...Hand hygiene will be decontaminated using alcohol-based hand rub or by washing hands... Immediately after removing gloves ... after contact with inanimate objects near the patient ... After contact with other objects within the patient station or treatment space.” 3. On 06/12/2024, at approximately 11:40 AM, an interview was conducted with the Clinic Manager (E #1). E #1 stated that all staff must perform hand hygiene after touching the dialysis screens or inanimate objects and before accessing any vascular access or performing a new task.”
