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, 394 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 record review and interview, the agency failed to ensure the patient’s written individualized POC (Plan of Care) was followed as evidenced by the SN (Skilled Nurse) failing to obtain the weight for patient (#6) per the POC for 1 out of 17 sampled patients. Patient #6. Review of the patient’s electronic clinical records revealed the start of care date was 12/20/2023. The patient’s diagnoses included Diabetes and Congestive Heart Failure. The certification period reviewed was 12/20/2023 to 2/17/2024. Review of the patient’s Plan of Care (POC) for certification period 12/20/2023 to 2/17/2024 revealed the following order - SN (Skilled Nurse) 1wk4, 1every2wk2, 1wk3 (one time a week for four weeks, one visit every two weeks for two weeks, one time a week for three weeks). Further review of the patient’s POC revealed an order for “Skilled nurse to obtain weight every visit and notify RN/MD (Registered Nurse/Medical Director) of weight gain or loss of 2-3 lbs (pounds) within 24 hours or 5 lbs within 7 days…” The POC revealed orders for “Skilled nurse to obtain body measurements of bilateral ankles if unable to weigh every visit. Skilled nurse to notify physician of 3 cm (centimeter) increase”. Review of the patient’s SN visit notes dated 12/27/2023 and 1/3/2024 revealed that there was no evidence the SN obtained the patient’s weight and there was no evidence body measurements of the patient’s bilateral ankles were done. On 1/10/2024 at 12:55 p.m., S1ED (Executive Director) reviewed the patient’s SN visit notes dated 12/27/2023 and 1/3/2024. She confirmed that there was no evidence the patient’s weight was obtained for the SN visits made on 12/27/2023 and 1/3/2024 and that there was no evidence body measurements of the patient’s bilateral ankles were done.”

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.
