What these words mean2
- 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.

The inspectors’ words, 375 words
“PQ-DIETITIAN-RD CFR(s): 494.140(c)(1) The facility must have a dietitian who must- (1) Be a registered dietitian with the Commission on Dietetic Registration; This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 20497 Based on policy review, document review, record review, and staff interview, the ESRD (end stage renal dialysis) facility failed to have a licensed dietitian on staff for 28 of 52 weeks (June 16 - December 31) in 2023. Failure to have a licensed dietitian on staff limited the facility’s ability to meet the patients’ dietary needs. Findings include: Review of the policy “Peritoneal Dialysis Policy Governing Body” occurred on 01/03/24. This policy, dated April 2003, stated, “Policy: . . . The Governing Body of the facility will assure that this policy and the Operational Objectives listed below are met. . . . 2. Appoint a Chief Executive Officer [CEO]. . . The responsibilities of the CEO include but are not limited to: . . . Ensuring that the facility employs the number of qualified personnel needed . . .” Review of the policy “Peritoneal Dialysis Services Available” occurred on 01/03/24. This policy, dated April 2003, stated, “Purpose: To describe the services available to ESRD patients within the facility . . . Policy: . . . 2. Services available to ESRD patients include: . . . dietary evaluation and counseling. . . .” Review of the facility’s list of personnel occurred on 01/02/24. This list, dated 01/02/24, failed to include a dietitian. Review of Patient #1’s medical record occurred on 01/02/24. Patient #1 began peritoneal dialysis treatments with the facility on 06/02/23. The medical record lacked evidence a dietitian provided dietary services to the patient from 06/02/23 through 01/02/24. During interview on 01/02/24 at 12:10 p.m., an administrative staff member (#1) stated the facility had not had a dietitian on staff for about eight months, the facility had not been successful in hiring a new dietitian, and currently the nursing staff provided dietary services to the patients. During interview the morning of 01/03/24, Staff Member #1 stated the previous dietitian’s last day of employment was 06/15/23. During interview on 01/03/24 at 8:25 a.m., an administrative staff member (#2) confirmed the facility did not have a dietitian on staff to provide dietary services to the patients.”
