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.

Encoding And Transmitting Oasis
The inspectors’ words, 535 words
“Encoding and transmitting OASIS CFR(s): 484.45(a) Standard: An HHA must encode and electronically transmit each completed OASIS assessment to the CMS system, regarding each beneficiary with respect to which information is required to be transmitted (as determined by the Secretary), within 30 days of completing the assessment of the beneficiary. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: Based on record review and interview, the agency failed to transmit completed OASIS assessments (a tool used by CMS to collect certain patient information to measure patient service needs and measure care quality) to the CMS, within 30 days of completing the OASIS assessment of the beneficiaries (patients) for 5 (Patients #1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) of 5 active patient records reviewed. From 01/01/2025 through 01/01/2026, 1 OASIS assessment was transmitted greater than 30 days from the assessment date. This failure prevented the agency’s patient data from being made available to CMS for analysis to identify agency performance levels in the provision of patient care. FINDINGS INCLUDE: Pre-survey review of the report titled, “OASIS Error Detail Report” taken from the IQIES (A CMS data based system for patient analysis and care trends) revealed 1 assessment contained error number -3330 with the error message of, “Record Submitted Late: The submission date is more than 30 days after M0090 (the date the assessment is finished) on this new record.” Patient #1: Review of the record showed an OASIS assessment was completed on 10/01/2025 for the certification period 10/01/2025-11/29/2025. The OASIS assessment had not been submitted to IQIES. Patient #2: Review of the record showed an OASIS assessment was completed on 10/27/2025 for the certification period 10/27/2025-12/25/2025. The OASIS assessment had not been submitted to IQIES. Patient #3: Review of the record showed an OASIS assessment was completed on 02/03/2025 for the certification period 02/03/2025 to 04/30/2025. The OASIS assessment had not been submitted to IQIES. Patient #4: Review of the record showed an OASIS assessment was completed on 10/23/2025 for the certification period 10/23/2025-12/21/2025. The OASIS assessment had not been submitted to IQIES. Patient #5: Review of the record showed an OASIS assessment was completed on 11/17/2025 for the certification period 11/17/2025-01/15/2026. The OASIS assessment had not been submitted to IQIES. On 03/03/2026 at approximately 3:00 PM, at 2:30 PM, the surveyor reviewed the findings with the Administrator, DON and Consultant H. The surveyor asked who was responsible in the agency to submit the OASIS assessments to the IQIES portal for CMS. Consultant H stated she was the one who submitted OASIS assessments. The surveyor asked why the OASIS assessments for Patients #1-5 were not submitted. Consultant H stated, “I didn’t think they (OASIS assessments) had to be submitted because all the patients were from (Healthcare Provider, Identifier G) and are under the LHH category. I just didn’t know about the new rule.” The Administrator stated he was not aware they (OASIS assessments) needed to be submitted for the patients from Healthcare Provider, G either. Agency Policy, dated 02/01/2026, quoted in part, “Initial Patient/Client Comprehensive Assessment, … Policy: … II. A. The collection and submission of OASIS data includes all patients/clients, regardless of payer source, who begin receiving home healthcare services on or after July 1, 2025. …””

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.
