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
The inspectors’ words, 334 words
“Plan of care CFR(s): 484.60(a)(1) Each patient must receive the home health services that are written in an individualized plan of care that identifies patient-specific measurable outcomes and goals, and which is established, periodically reviewed, and signed by a doctor of medicine, osteopathy, or podiatry acting within the scope of his or her state license, certification, or registration. If a physician or allowed practitioner refers a patient under a plan of care that cannot be completed until after an evaluation visit, the physician or allowed practitioner is consulted to approve additions or modifications to the original plan. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: Based on home visit observation, clinical record reviews and staff interviews, for 3 of 7 (Pts. 1, 3 and 4) clinical records reviewed, the Agency failed to ensure services/treatments were provided according to the POC. 3. Pt. #4 was admitted for home health services on 02/19/26 with the diagnoses of but not limited to Primary osteoarthritis and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The clinical record was reviewed on 03/23/26 and included a POC effective 02/19/26 and required staff to notify the Physician if the parameters of the “Fasting Blood Sugar greater than (>) 200 or less than () 300 or less than ( 4. During an interview conducted with the Executive Director and Director of Nursing on 03/24/26 at 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM, the above findings were confirmed. Findings include: 1. Pt. # 1 was admitted to home health services on 03/11/26 with the diagnoses of but not limited to Urinary Tract Infection and Long Term use of Oral Hypoglycemic Drugs. The clinical record was reviewed on 03/23/26. The clinical record included a POC effective 03/11/26 to 05/09/26, included orders: “Notify physician of:…Fasting blood sugar greater than (>) 200 or less than () 300 or less than () 400 or less than () 400 or less than (<) 70….” The clinical records included SN notes dated 02/26/26, 03/03/26, 03/05/26, 03/09/26 and 03/12/26, and lacked blood sugar assessments as ordered.”

Discharge And Transfer Summaries
The inspectors’ words, 257 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 review of clinical records and staff interview, for 1 of 2 (Pt. #6) closed records reviewed, the Agency failed to ensure the Discharge summary was sent to the Physician within the required time frame. Findings include: 1. Pt. #6 was admitted for home health services on 12/28/23 with a diagnosis of Unspecified Dementia, unspecified severity, with other behavioral disturbance. The clinical record was reviewed on 03/24/26. The record included a discharge assessment, indicating that the Pt. was discharged on 02/26/26. The record lacked documentation that a copy of the discharge summary was sent to the Physician within 5 days of discharge. 2. During an interview with the Executive Director and Director of Nursing on 03/24/26 at 3:00 PM, the above findings were confirmed.”

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.
