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.

A Review Of All Current Medications
The inspectors’ words, 504 words
“A review of all current medications CFR(s): 484.55(c)(5) A review of all medications the patient is currently using in order to identify any potential adverse effects and drug reactions, including ineffective drug therapy, significant side effects, significant drug interactions, duplicate drug therapy, and noncompliance with drug therapy. This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, document review, and interview, it was determined for 1 of 3 (Pt #1) patients, where home visits were conducted, the Home HHA (Home Health Agency) failed to review all medications by comparing them to the Assisted Living current medication profile to ensure the patient was taking the correct medication(s). Findings include: 1. Pt #1 SOC (start of care) 3/7/2024, Diagnosis: Unspecified wound, left upper arm and abdomen. On 3/26/2024 at 12:00 PM a home visit was conducted with Registered Nurse (E #3) at Pt #1’s Assisted Living residence. During the review of the Assisted Living medication profile for Pt #1, it was noted the Assisted Living medication list lacked the following medication that were documented on the Home Health medication list. a. Amlodipine Besylate (Norvasc) 10 mg (milligram) orally daily – calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. b. Linzess 145 mcg (microgram) orally at bedtime – used to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. c. Docusate Sodium 100 mg orally daily- prevents and treats occasional constipation. Pt #1’s Home Health Agency’s medication listed lacked the following 6 over the counter medications a-f, and one prescription medication that appeared on the Assisted Living’s medication profile. a. Acetaminophen ER (extended release) 600 mg tab 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed. b. Healthy Eyes 2 Supervision one capsule daily by mouth. c. Loperamide 2 mg capsule one by mouth 1-2 times daily. d. Multivitamin tablet take one tablet by mouth two times a day. e. Neuriva Plus Brain Perform take one capsule by mouth daily. f.

A review of Pt #1’s medical record was completed on 03/26/2024 at approximately 1:30 PM. All 12 of the home visits made by the skilled nurses from 03/7/2024 SOC thru 03/22/24 indicated there were no discrepancies in the medication list reviewed and there were no changes in medication. 3. On 03/26/24 at approximately 1:30 PM the policy titled “Skilled Home Care Policies” was reviewed. The policy required, “Registered Nurse shall check all medicine that patient may be taking to identify possible ineffective drug therapy or adverse reactions, to promptly report any problems to patient’s physician within twenty-four (24) hours, and document in the clinical record. 4. On 03/26/2024 at approximately 2:00 PM an interview was conducted with the Agency Supervisor (E #2). E #2 reviewed Pt #1’s record and agreed stating “there were multiple discrepancies between the Assisted Living medication profile and our agency’s medication profile.””

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.
