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.

Patient Plan Of Care - Goals - Community-Based Standards
The inspectors’ words, 576 words
“POC-GOALS=COMMUNITY-BASED STANDARDS CFR(s): 494.90 The interdisciplinary team as defined at §494.80 must develop and implement a written, individualized comprehensive plan of care that specifies the services necessary to address the patient’s needs, as identified by the comprehensive assessment and changes in the patient’s condition, and must include measurable and expected outcomes and estimated timetables to achieve these outcomes. The outcomes specified in the patient plan of care must be consistent with current evidence-based professionally-accepted clinical practice standards. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 37656 Based on medical record review (Patient 4), staff interview, and a review of facility documents, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that physician orders for a heart rate (HR) below 50 beats per minute (bpm) were implemented for two of five treatment flow sheets reviewed. Findings include: A review of Patient (P) 4’s medical record revealed the following: TREATMENT PARAMETER ORDERS, “... HEART RATE ... Pre-Tx [Pre-Treatment] may start with - Heart rate above 50 BPM ... Post-Tx [Post Treatment] may leave with - HR above 50 BPM ... Notify provider if intradialytic heart rate is below 50 BPM. ...” Order date 2/27/24. The Treatment Details Report, dated 2/29/24 revealed the following: 6:56 AM HR 64, treatment initiated 9:03 AM HR 48 9:04 AM HR 41 9:05 AM HR 50 recorded by a PCT (Patient Care Technician) 9:07 AM HR 79 (manual reading documented by the Registered Nurse (RN)) 9:33 AM HR 43 and was checked manually by the RN as 42. RN notes stated, “pt [patient] asymptomatic; alert reports feeling well ...” 10:03 AM HR 43 10:29 AM HR 48, RN note stated, “Treatment terminated.” The Treatment Details Report lacked documented evidence that the physician was notified of the five times the intradialytic HR readings were below 50 bpm, as specified in the above orders. The Treatment Details Report dated 3/2/24 revealed the following documented by the PCT: 6:53 AM HR 64, treatment initiated 8:02 AM HR 49 8:32 AM HR 49 9:02 AM HR 46 9:32 AM HR 49 10:24 AM HR 49 The flow sheet lacked documented evidence that the RN assessed P4 when the HR dropped below 50 bpm. The flow sheet lacked documented evidence that the RN and the physician were notified of the five times the intradialytic HR was below 50 bpm, as specified in the above orders. The above findings were reviewed with Staff (S) 3, a Registered Nurse on 3/13/24 at 1:26 PM. S3 stated that the physician should have been informed of the intradialytic HR below 50 bpm, as per the physician’s treatment parameter orders. At 1:28 PM, S3 confirmed that there was no communication made to the doctor or documentation that the physician was aware of the patient’s low heart rate less than 50 bpm on 2/29/24 and 3/02/24. A review of the facility policy titled, “Pre-Intra-Post Treatment Data Collection, Monitoring and Nursing Assessment,” revised October 2023, stated, “... INTRADIALYTIC DATA COLLECTION/ASSESSMENT 11. Abnormal findings or findings outside of any patient specific ordered parameters will be reported to the licensed nurse immediately ... . The licensed nurse will use his/her clinical judgement based on individual patient needs to determine if any clinical interventions are necessary. ... ABNORMAL FINDINGS ... Within each category, definitions may be adjusted by a specific physician order. ... Heart or Pulse Rate Pre/Intra/Post : ... Less than 60 beats per minute or greater than 100 beats per minute and/or an irregular heartbeat. ...””
