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.

Discharge And Transfer Summaries
The inspectors’ words, 313 words
“Discharge and transfer summaries CFR(s): 484.110(a)(6)(i-iii) (i) A completed discharge summary that is sent to the primary care practitioner or other health care professional who will be responsible for providing care and services to the patient after discharge from the HHA (if any) within 5 business days of the patient’s discharge; or (ii) A completed transfer summary that is sent within 2 business days of a planned transfer, if the patient’s care will be immediately continued in a health care facility; or (iii) A completed transfer summary that is sent within 2 business days of becoming aware of an unplanned transfer, if the patient is still receiving care in a health care facility at the time when the HHA becomes aware of the transfer. This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on record review and interview, the home health agency is unable to demonstrate a completed termination summary including the date of the first visit and the discharge date, the number and type of visits performed during service and a list of medication upon discharge for 2 out of 6 Sampled Patients (SP). SP #5 and SP #6. Findings Include: Closed record review of Sample Patient (SP) #5 and SP #6 were conducted on 03/17/2025 to 03/20/2025. The clinical record for SP #5 contained a discharge summary from the agency with a discharge date of 02/17/2025; and SP #6 contained a discharge summary from the agency with a discharge date of 02/14/2025. The discharge summaries for SP #5 and SP#6 omitted notations as the actual admission and discharge date of services, the type and number of visits performed during the care and medication list at the time of discharge. Interview with the Director of Nursing and Owner/Administrator concluded at 10:00am March 20, 2025, acknowledged that the summaries for SP #5 and SP#6, were incomplete, missing the required notations as previously mentioned.”

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.
