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.

Achieve Adequate Clearance
The inspectors’ words, 537 words
“POC-ACHIEVE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE CFR(s): 494.90(a)(1) Achieve and sustain the prescribed dose of dialysis to meet a hemodialysis Kt/V of at least 1.2 and a peritoneal dialysis weekly Kt/V of at least 1.7 or meet an alternative equivalent professionally-accepted clinical practice standard for adequacy of dialysis. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 48264 Based on document review and interview, it was determined that for 2 (Pt. #4 and Pt. #5) of 7 in-center hemodialysis patients’ records reviewed, the facility failed to ensure that the prescribed DFR (Dialysis Flow Rate) was followed, to ensure adequacy of patient’s dialysis treatment. Findings include: 1. On 1/10/2024, the facility’s policy titled, “Patient Assessment and Monitoring” (5/2023) was reviewed and included, “...The Registered Nurse will assess/reassess any findings addressed pre (before) or during treatment ...Follow the steps below for monitoring patient and machine parameters during treatment ...Step 3 ...Check dialysate flow rate setting is correct, and the prescribed flow is being delivered ...Step 4. Document any findings and interventions in the medical record...” 2. On 1/10/2024, the clinical record of Pt. #4 was reviewed. Pt. #4 was admitted on 9/01/2013 with a diagnosis of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The record contained a hemodialysis treatment order dated 11/02/2023 that required: “Hemodialysis Tue (Tuesday), Thu (Thursday), Sat (Saturday) ...Tx (treatment) Time: 3 (three) hours, 15 (fifteen) minutes ... Dialysate Flow Rate (DFR): 800 mL/min (milliliters/minute)”. The clinical record lacked documentation that staff provided treatments as ordered by the physician nor physician notification that Pt. #4 was unable to tolerate ordered DFR on the following days reviewed, between 12/27/2023 and 1/08/2024: - On 12/28/2023, the treatment record indicated that the staff provided treatment with a starting DFR of 150 and then adjusted to a DFR of 500 throughout session. - On 1/04/2024, the treatment record indicated that the staff provided treatment with a starting DFR of 800 and then adjusted the DFR to 600 for remainder of session. 3. On 1/10/2024, the clinical record of Pt. #5 was reviewed. Pt. #5 was admitted on 9/01/2013 with a diagnosis of ESRD. Pt. #5’s clinical record included a hemodialysis treatment order dated 10/16/2023 that required: “Hemodialysis M (Monday), W (Wednesday), F (Friday) ...Tx Time: 3 hours, 15 minutes ...DFR: 800 mL/min”. The clinical record lacked documentation that staff provided treatments as ordered by the physician nor physician notification that Pt. #5 was unable to tolerate ordered DFR on the following days reviewed, between 12/26/2023 and 1/09/2024: - On 12/31/2023, the treatment record indicated that the staff provided treatment with a DFR of 500 throughout session. - On 1/05/2024, the treatment record indicated that the staff provided treatment with a starting DFR of 100 and then adjusted to a DFR of 500 throughout session. 4. On 1/10/2024 at approximately 1:00 PM, the findings were discussed with the Facility Administrator (E #1) and the Charge Registered Nurse (E #2). E #1 stated that staff are expected to administer hemodialysis as ordered by the physician. E #2 stated that the Registered Nurse verifies that the patient’s prescription matches what is being delivered during the dialysis treatment and that if the dialysate flow rate cannot be maintained, the physician should be notified and documented within the patient’s clinical record.”
