What these words mean2
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, 1,446 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 review of clinical records (CRs), agency policies, and interview with agency administrator, the agency failed to ensure that patient’s care, treatments, and services were administered by agency staff in accordance with written orders of the physician in three (3) of seven (7) patients reviewed (CRs #1-3).

Deliver services at the convenience of the patient/family and caregiver. … v. Bridge the gaps in the patient’s caregiving network. … c. The plan of care will include: … iv. Frequency and duration of visits as ordered by physician.”; -Missed Shift Policy, “Procedure: A. The Case Managers are the office staff members responsible for scheduling the field staff in the homes and for monitoring their attendance.”; -Acceptance of Patients, “eKidzCare only admits patient whose needs can be met by the services it provides and provides these services in compliance with Medicare Conditions of Participation. … Procedure: 1. Patients are accepted for treatment on the basis of a reasonable expectation that the patient’s medical, nursing, and social needs can be met adequately by the agency in the patient’s place of residence and/or school/daycare/developmental facility. … 3. The patient’s care will follow a written plan of care established and periodically reviewed by a doctor of medicine, osteopathy, or podiatric medicine at least every 60 days. … 5. If the patient’s needs were such that the eKidzCare could not adequately provide the care required, then every effort will be made to assist the patient and/or family member to secure services elsewhere.” -Job Description: Case Manager, “the Case Manager is responsible for scheduling and coordinating the day-to-day care delivered by field staff members who are working in the homes of clients. Individual will lead field staff in providing excellent customer service and quality home care with focus on delivery and coordination of client services … and on-going case management. The Case Manger will also act as a liaison between our offices and external payers, working to obtain authorizations for care, and interact with insurance companies to advocate for our clients. Duties and responsibilities – Manage a caseload of clients including staffing, scheduling, operations, and administration, Consult with clients to identify and understand the needs of patients and to provide appropriate staffing solutions, Coordinate the scheduling needs of our clients with appropriately matched caregivers schedules.” Interview conducted on March 13, 2024, at approximately 3:00 PM, with agency administrator revealed confirmation of many missed patient care visits due to inadequate skilled nurse staffing and resultant agency’ non-conformance with physician orders.”

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.
