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.

This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review, document review, interview, and observation. In 1 of 3 (33%) home visit observations, the agency did not ensure that accepted standards of practice to prevent the transmission of infections and communicable disease, including the use of standard precautions, such as hand hygiene, were followed. DOCUMENT 2: Agency Policy Section 6.0 “Infection Prevention & Control in the Home Setting” stated, in part, “Hand hygiene shall be performed at a minimum: A. After contact with the patient’s immediate environment.” “Alcohol-based products shall be the preferred recommended hand hygiene technique used when there is no visible soiling of hands. CLINICAL RECORD 1/HOME VISIT 1: This patient elected the hospice benefit on 05/09/2025 with a terminal diagnosis of senile degeneration of the brain.

She stated that she would have used hand sanitizer but there was none available in the facility. The Aide was observed reaching down and attempting to unclog the shower drain with her gloved hands and then continued the patient’s shower without removing dirty gloves and sanitizing hands. The Patient Care Coordinator was interviewed on 10/29/2025 and stated that the agency policy for hand hygiene was not followed. It was stated that the agency provided hand sanitizer in the office and that the Hospice Aide would be educated to obtain hand sanitizer from the agency.”

- 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.
