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.

Dec 19, 2024: initial inspection by the Community Health Accreditation Partner2 deficiencies

  • Timeframe for completion of assessment (42 CFR 418.54(b))

    The inspectors’ words, 154 words

    “It is required that the hospice Interdisciplinary Group, in consultation with the individual’s attending physician (if any), completes an initial comprehensive assessment no later than five (5) calendar days after the election of hospice care, in accordance with CMS §418.24–the elements of the hospice care election statement. This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review and interview. In 1 of 10 (10%) clinical records reviewed revealed that the agency did not ensure that the hospice Interdisciplinary Group completed an initial comprehensive assessment no later than five (5) calendar days after the election of hospice care. Clinical Record 3: The patient was admitted to hospice services on 08/28/2024 and the psychosocial assessment was completed on 10/01/2024 (33 days). In an interview with the Executive Director (ED) on 12/17/2024, after reviewing the clinical record, the executive director (ED) stated that the MSW must have forgotten to enter a note about the late assessment.”

    Rule L0523. Standard-level.

  • Prevention (42 CFR 418.60(a))

    The inspectors’ words, 207 words

    “It is required that the hospice follows accepted standards of practice to prevent the transmission of infections and communicable disease, including the use of standard precautions, such as hand hygiene. This standard was not met as evidenced by interview and observation. In 1 of 3 (33%) home visit observations and interviews revealed, that the agency did not ensure accepted standards of practice, hand hygiene, was used to prevent the transmission of infections and communicable diseases. Document 1: The agency’s policy read in part, “ When the visit is completed, reusable equipment will be cleaned using alcohol, soap, and water, or other appropriate solution, hands will be washed, and equipment and supplies will be returned to the bag. Hands will be decontaminated before returning clean equipment to bag.” (Bag Technique) (November 2023). Home Visit 1: A home visit was made on 12/18/2024 to observe the Registered Nurse (RN) (Personnel Record 1). After the vital signs were obtained, the RN sanitized her hands. Then, she cleaned the equipment and put it back into the bag one piece at a time without sanitizing her hands. In an interview with the RN, she stated she did not set up correctly for bag technique and that threw her off for hand hygiene.”

    Rule L0579. Standard-level.

What the record doesn’t say

  • CMS doesn’t publish fines or other penalties for hospices, so none are shown.
  • Only complaints that led to a citation appear; complaints that didn’t aren’t published.
  • CMS ended its Special Focus Program for hospices with serious problems on Feb 14, 2025, so no hospice is marked as one.
  • Hospice quality measures have a gap from October 2025: CMS replaced its patient assessment then, and public results from the new one (HOPE) are expected around November 2027.
