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.

Compliance With Fed/State/Local Laws
The inspectors’ words, 478 words
“COMPLIANCE WITH FED/STATE/LOCAL LAWS CFR(s): 494.20 The facility and its staff must operate and furnish services in compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations pertaining to licensure and any other relevant health and safety requirements. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 50550 Based on policy review and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to comply with 494.20, by failing to follow their “Requesting Surveyor Access to Protected Health Information” policy and Federal, State, and local laws and regulations regarding access to patient records. The facility failed to provide appropriate access to patients medical records in a sufficient and reasonable time frame. Findings included: A review was conducted of the policy titled, “Requesting Surveyor Access to Protected Health Information;” last review June 2022. The policy states in part, “Purpose: To provide guidance when requesting Surveyor access to electronic medical records and patient Protected Health Information (PHI), in accordance with applicable privacy laws, regulations and requirement, including but not limited to HIPPA...I. Background: 1. Da Vita will provide Surveyors access to medical and patients records in order to fulfill their survey responsibilities or as otherwise required or permitted by law...Procedure:...2. Electronic Access to Non-VA Records by all Surveyors and VA Records by VA Surveyor: i. If the Surveyor requires access to EHR (Electronic Health Records), the FA (Facility Administrator) will set up a temporary account to access the patient’s electronic health record. Explain to the Surveyor where the applicable records are located in the system and how they can be accessed...” On 10/21/24, Surveyors did not receive computers with access to medical records as requested at 9:15 a.m. The following day, on 10/22/24, one (1) Surveyor received a computer with log in access to electronic medical records at 9:21 a.m. The additional two (2) surveyors received log in access at 10:00 a.m. In interview was conducted with Staff #2 on 10/21/24 at 1:00 p.m. Regarding the access to medical records, Staff #2 states, “It was a glitch on their system to provide access to surveyors to medical records and they were on the process to rectify the problem...” An email was sent by Staff #2 on 10/21/24 at 2:35 p.m. The email states, “My apologies for the delay in getting CWOW (Center Without Walls) access to each of you. This has been escalated to Senior Leadership in IT. Urgency of this has been relayed to them and I will keep you apprised.” In interview was conducted with Staff #2 on 10/22/24 at 9:00 a.m. Regarding the access to medical records, Staff #2 states, “We are still rectifying the problem; IT is working on it...they were trying to include the new surveyors in their computer access system.” Staff #2 concurs that they have an issue with their system and there is a delay in the process for surveyors to have access to medical records.”
