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.

This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on facility policy review, medical record review, observation, and interview, the facility failed to ensure an updated and accurate medication profile for 2 of 7 (Patient #1 and #7) sampled patients with home visits. The findings included: 1. Review of the facility’s “Drug Regimen Review” policy reviewed on 12/9/2024 revealed, “Purpose: To ensure the comprehensive list of medications are updated any time there is a medication change including dose changes, new medications, and any medications discontinued...The clinician completing the OASIS Assessment must complete a comprehensive drug regimen review of all medications the patient is currently taking at the time of admission, recertification, resumption of care and with any major change in condition...The clinician will also ask the patient to periodically allow them to visualize all the medications the patient is currently taking...The visualized medications are compared to the current medication profile to ensure accuracy of the medication profile...” 2. Review of the Client Medication Report for Patient #1 revealed the alprazolam 1 mg, 3 tablets at bedtime was “Discontinued By: Process Readmission” on 2/23/2025. Observations in Patient #1’s home on 3/26/2025 at 9:47 AM, revealed alprazolam (used to treat anxiety) 0.5 milligrams (mg), 3 tablets at bedtime. The medication dosage did not match the Client Medication Report. During an interview on 3/26/2025 at 9:47 AM, Patient #1 stated she was still taking the alprazolam 0.5 mg, 3 tablets every night and she had never stopped taking the medication. 3.

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.
