What these words mean4
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.
Condition-level deficiency
For hospices, home health agencies, hospitals and dialysis facilities, CMS writes deficiencies at two levels. Standard is the usual one; condition-level is the more serious, when a problem is serious enough that the provider doesn’t meet a whole condition of taking part in Medicare. Source: CMS, State Operations Manual.

If the PCT/LPN note any changes or abnormal findings in the patient’s condition or vascular access are observed or reported by the patient, or the patient was hospitalized, the registered nurse must assess the patient. The RN will notify the patient’s physician/physician extender of any abnormal findings, if necessary, based on clinical judgment for additional instruction. The Registered Nurse will assess/re-assess any findings addressed pre or during treatment as needed. Pre-Treatment: Weight: Record pre-weight. Compare pre-weight to estimated dry weight. Blood Pressure: Record blood pressure. Verify: Systolic blood pressures greater than 180 mm/Hg and or diastolic blood pressures greater than 100 mm/Hg.

From the facility

The public record above comes first. Anything the facility adds will appear here, below it, and say who wrote it.

Replies

None. Replies aren’t open yet. When they open, the facility will be able to answer any finding for free, and the reply will show beside that finding, unedited and dated.

Paid listing

None. Paid listings aren’t open yet. When they open, anything paid for will say “Paid by the facility”, and paying will never change a finding, a rating or the order of results.
