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.

“Based on review of hospice policy/procedure, documentation, clinical records and Pennsylvania (PA) controlled substance classification information, and based on interview with the hospice coordinator (Employee #2) and the administrator (Employee #7), the hospice failed to ensure that documentation of controlled substance/medication disposal was completed as per hospice policy/procedure for one (1) of three (3) hospice patients who expired in a private home. (Patient #13) Findings Include: On October 10, 2024 at approximately 3:29 PM, review of the hospice policy titled “Controlled Drug Disposal” revealed the following: Purpose: To promote the proper disposal of hospice medications. Objectives...To prevent use of a controlled drug by someone other than the patient. On October 10, 2024 at approximately 3:20 PM, review of PA Code, Title 28, Chapter 25. Controlled Substances, Drugs, Devices and Cosmetics ( https://www.pacodeandbulletin.gov/Display/pacode?file=/secure/pacode/data/028/chapter25/s25.72.html ) revealed the following: Lorazepam (Ativan) is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance. On October 10, 2024 at approximately 3:22 PM, review of the PA Department of Health Questions and Answers under the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (https://www.pa.gov/en/agencies/health/healthcare-and-public-health-professionals/pdmp/qa.html ) revealed the following: Schedule II - drugs with acceptable medical use, but with a high abuse potential that leads to dependence (morphine...). Patient #13: On October 10, 2024 at approximately 3:07 PM, review of hospice medication delivery records revealed the following medications were delivered to the patient: -Lorazepam: 30 tablets on 10/16/2023. -Morphine Sulfate: 30 milliliter bottles on 10/16/2023 and 10/23/2023. On October 10, 2024 at approximately 2:40 PM, review of the clinical record revealed the patient expired on 10/25/2023 as documented on the “Discharge-Death” skilled nursing note. “Discharge-Death” skilled nursing note documentation under “Comments/Summary” revealed the registered nurse/hospice administrator (Employee #7) documented that hospice medications were disposed as per hospice policy but there was no documentation under the section titled “Medication Disposal: Please indicate the name and quantity of all medications that were disposed” which provided evidence that Employee #7 had documented the name and quantity the remaining doses of lorazepam and morphine sulfate which were disposed on 10/25/2023. During interview conducted on 10/10/2024 at approximately 3:26 PM, the hospice coordinator and administrator confirmed the name and remaining doses/volume of controlled substances/medications supplied by the hospice are to be documented at the time of disposal. During interview on October 10, 2024 at approximately 4:00 PM, the hospice coordinator and the administrator confirmed that documentation of controlled substance/medication disposal was not completed as per hospice policy/procedure for Patient #13.”

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.
