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.

Preparing Clinical Notes
The inspectors’ words, 287 words
“Preparing clinical notes CFR(s): 484.75(b)(6) Preparing clinical notes; This Element is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the agency did not assume the responsibility of preparing clinical notes. Specifically, visit notes for skilled nursing (SN) and home health aides (HHA) were not being completed in a timely manner and according to agency policy. (Patient identifier: 6) Findings include: Patient 6 was admitted to the agency on 7/5/2024, with diagnoses that included rheumatoid arthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, and migraines. Patient 6 had SN orders for a visit once per week for 8 weeks starting on 7/5/2024, and once per week for 8 weeks starting 9/8/2024. HHA orders, dated 7/5/2024, were for once per week for 1 week, then twice per week for 8 weeks. All visits ordered were documented in the medical record with a time in and time out, but surveyors were unable to open the documentation for the following visits in the electronic medical record (EMR): For SN: 7/19/2024, 7/22/2024, 7/25/2024, 7/29/2024, 08/14/2024, 8/22/2024, 8/26/2024, 9/16/2024, 9/19/2024, 10/17/2024, 10/25/2024, and 11/1/2024. For HHA visits: 7/23/2024, 8/2/2024, 8/22/2024 and 8/26/2024. On 11/5/2024 at 3:03 PM, an interview was conducted with the administrator. The administrator stated, I am just going to be honest. Patient 6 was a challenging patient, and the documentation is simply not done. The agency’s policy for documentation and client records stated that notation should be made before the completion of each shift, after an event or more frequently, if required. The agency’s nursing documentation policy states that charting is to be completed the day the visit occurred. For the outcome and assessment information set (OASIS) documents, they should be completed no later than three days after the initial visit.”

- CMS gives no 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.: “The number of patient episodes for this measure is too small to report.”

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.
