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 Plans Communication
The inspectors’ words, 423 words
“Discharge plans communication CFR(s): 484.60(c)(3)(ii) (ii) Any revisions related to plans for the patient’s discharge must be communicated to the patient, representative, caregiver, all physicians or allowed practitioner’s issuing orders for the HHA plan of care, and the patient’s 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). This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on record reviews, staff interviews and review of policy titled “Initial referral/Admission Process,” it was determined that agency failed to communicate plans with the patient’s primary care practitioner or other health care professional who will be responsible for providing care and services to the patient after discharge from the agency, and failed to discuss discharge plans with one patient (P) (P#4) of three patients who were made non admit for the agency. Findings include: Review of the policy titled “Initial Referral /Admission Process,” revised date 8/22/24, revealed the following: 11. If the patient is deemed in eligible for admission, the evaluation clinical will immediately contact the agency office and discuss the reasons for non-admission with the DOO/Clinical Manager or designee. If in agreement with the evaluating discipline’s assessment, the DOO/Clinical Manager or designee will notify the physician /referral source of the reason for the patient’s non acceptances and assist with any other arrangements as needed. 12. If the agency cannot provide services as ordered, the physician /allowed practitioner /referral source will be notified, and the patient will be referred to another agency of his/her choice with appropriate referral information forwarded to the receiving agency, Review of “Client Coordination Notes Report,” dated 10/16/24 for P#4, the nurse documents the following: Patient not admitted to home care after discussion with CM (Clinical Manager) due to unsanitary living conditions putting staff at risk. Review of clinical record failed to indicate that the physician was notified of the non-admit status and clinical record lack documentation that the patient /caregiver was notified of the non-admit status. Additional review of the clinical record failed to indicate coordination with other health care providers / health care personnel in providing care for P#4 after making the patient non-admit. On 4/8/25 at 2:00 p.m., an office interview was conducted with the Executive Director (ED) and the Clinical Manager (CM) who revealed that the clinical records lack documentation that the physician and patient was notified of the non-admit status. The ED and CM revealed that the agency did not follow the policy titled “ Initial Referral /Admission Process.””

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.
