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.

Content of plan of care (42 CFR 418.56(c)(3))
The inspectors’ words, 260 words
“Based on interview and medical record review, it was determined the hospice failed to include individualized measurable outcomes anticipated from implementing and coordinating the plan of care for 6 of 14 patient care plans reviewed (Patients #2, #4, #6, #7, #13, and #14). Findings include: 1. Review of the EMR for Patients #2, #4, #6, #13, and #14 revealed a section titled “Current Care Plan Problems.” The section revealed for each patient, “Care Plan Problem: Physical comfort alteration due to Disease process” followed by a goal statement of “Patient will achieve and maintain optimal physical comfort.” The care plans lacked information regarding what “Optimal” meant for each patient and how achieving it would be measured for each patient. 2. Review of the EMR for Patients #4, #7 and #14 revealed a section titled “Care Plan Problems.” The section revealed for each patient, a problem of “Deficit related to airway and breathing patterns” followed by a goal statement of “Patient will achieve optimal breathing patterns, airway patency, and comfort.” The care plans lacked information regarding what “Optimal” meant for each patient and how achieving it would be measured for each patient. During the exit conference on 04/17/2024 at 2:30 PM the above findings were presented. The Executive Director, Patient Care Manager, Compliance Manager, and Finance Manager were informed that during medical record review, it was noted that these care plans contained the exact same goal statements and outcome statements which lacked individualization and measurable outcome components. The Compliance Manager acknowledged the findings stating, “This will be good information for chart audits.””

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.
