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.

  • Only As Ordered By A Physician

    The inspectors’ words, 493 words

    “Only as ordered by a physician CFR(s): 484.60(b)(1) Drugs, services, and treatments are administered only as ordered by a physician or allowed practitioner. This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on record review and interview, the agency failed to ensure services and treatments were provided only as ordered by the physician in 1 of 2 discharged patient records reviewed (Patient #7). Findings include: 1. The clinical record for Patient #7 was reviewed on 1/17/24. The plan of care (POC) for the certification period dated 9/11/23 to 11/9/23 revealed a start of care (SOC) date of 9/11/23; diagnosis included chronic combined systolic and diastolic heart failure. The POC orders included skilled nursing (SN) one time in week one for assessment and patient education and physical therapy (PT) for evaluation and treatment. a) The agency failed to ensure care was provided only as ordered by the physician. Review of Patient #7’s record revealed a physician order on 9/11/23 for SN to evaluate and treat Patient #7. On 9/11/23, SN #1 completed an evaluation with Patient #7 and created a plan of care which included a PT frequency of one time per week for one week for evaluation and treatment. Further review of the SN plan of care revealed SN needs were no longer required after week one. No further supplemental or verbal orders were presented in the record. Review of Patient #7’s service documentation completed by SN #4 revealed SN #4 had provided services without an order on the following two dates: 10/3/23, 10/12/23. During an interview on 1/18/24 at approximately 11:40 a.m., RN #4 stated she thought she had received a verbal order for the visit dates of 10/3/23 and 10/12/23. Following request from the State Auditor (SA), SN #4 reviewed the electronic medical record (EMR) documentation specific to Patient #7’s physician orders on the following two dates: 10/3/23 and 10/12/23. SN #4 stated she was unable to locate or recall any verbal orders. SN #4 acknowledged the agency had not received an order for SN services to be provided on 10/3/23 and 10/12/23. SN #4 reported she had provided services to Patient #7 and those visits had been completed without a physician order on record. During an interview on 11/27/23 at approximately 12:00 p.m., the administrator and State Auditor (SA) reviewed the record for Patient #7. Following review the administrator acknowledged the agency had not maintained an order for the SN plan of care after the initial SN evaluation. The administrator further stated SN #4 had completed two visits to Patient #7 without an order in the record. The administrator stated the expectation at the agency was for the clinician to ensure they had received an order and verified the frequencies for all services provided to patients prior to providing the services. Further, the administrator stated that she thought there was a verbal order for the two service dates but again was unable to locate any verbal orders in the record.”

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.
