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.

Plan Of Care Must Include The Following
The inspectors’ words, 481 words
“Plan of care must include the following CFR(s): 484.60(a)(2)(i-xvi) The individualized plan of care must include the following: (i) All pertinent diagnoses; (ii) The patient’s mental, psychosocial, and cognitive status; (iii) The types of services, supplies, and equipment required; (iv) The frequency and duration of visits to be made; (v) Prognosis; (vi) Rehabilitation potential; (vii) Functional limitations; (viii) Activities permitted; (ix) Nutritional requirements; (x) All medications and treatments; (xi) Safety measures to protect against injury; (xii) A description of the patient’s risk for emergency department visits and hospital re-admission, and all necessary interventions to address the underlying risk factors. (xiii) Patient and caregiver education and training to facilitate timely discharge; (xiv) Patient-specific interventions and education; measurable outcomes and goals identified by the HHA and the patient; (xv) Information related to any advanced directives; and (xvi) Any additional items the HHA or physician or allowed practitioner may choose to include. This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on Clinical Record Review and Agency Staff interview, the Agency staff failed to ensure the patients POC (Plan of Care) included the required elements of all patient specific interventions, education, measurable outcomes, goals, supplies and equipment specific to the individual patient in 2 (#1, #2) of 17 (#1-#17) clinical records reviewed. Findings: Review of Clinical Record #1 revealed the following: A. Home Health Certification and Plan of Care (POC) with dates from 12/28/24-02/25/25 revealed a pulse parameter of 50-100 (heartbeats per minute). B. Document titled Client Medication Report listed Digoxin 125 mcg (micrograms) tablet with instructions to take one tablet every PM. C. According to standard practice guidelines noted by Davis Drug Guide, “Teach patient to take pulse and to contact health care professional before taking medication if pulse rate is 100.” (less than sixty heartbeats or more than one hundred heartbeats per minute). The patient’s plan of care included a pulse parameter of 50 to 100. According to standard practice guidelines, a pulse of 50 would require a health care professional to be contacted before taking the medication. There was no evidence the agency educated the patient on contacting a health care professional before taking the medication. D. Agency Representative #1 reported on 01/31/2025 at 10:00 AM the agency did not use a standard of practice for medication administration. Review of Clinical Record #2 revealed: A. Home Health Certification and Plan of Care with certification dates of 01/01/2025-03/01/2025 B. An order for “Skilled Nurse (SN) for insertion of suprapubic catheter using # (omitted type/material of catheter), # (omitted size of catheter) cc (cubic centimeter) balloon inflated with (omitted fluid type- normal saline or sterile water). C. Agency Representative #1 on 01/31/25 at 10:00 AM was asked how the Skilled nurse was to carry out the above order per the POC, Agency Representative #1 said, “They (SN) cannot. The order isn’t complete.” Agency Representatives were asked to provide additional information. None was forthcoming.”

What the record doesn’t say
- CMS doesn’t publish fines or other penalties for home health agencies, so none are shown.
- Only complaints that led to a citation appear; complaints that didn’t aren’t published.
- QCOR says some of its home health reports are accurate or available only through May 19, 2021, because of a systems migration.
- Many home health agencies are inspected by a private accrediting organisation instead of the state, and QCOR’s home health file doesn’t appear to include those inspections: no inspection on record here doesn’t mean none took place.
