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.

Timeframe for completion of assessment (42 CFR 418.54(b))
The inspectors’ words, 346 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 3 of 14 (21%) clinical records reviewed, the hospice did not ensure the initial comprehensive assessment was completed no later than five calendar days after the election of hospice care. Clinical Record 4: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 06/10/2022 with a terminal diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Clinical record review revealed the initial spiritual assessment was dated 06/20/2022, 10 days after the start of care. The initial comprehensive assessment was not completed within 5 calendar days of election of benefit, when the initial spiritual assessment was not completed until 10 days after the start of care and 5 days outstanding. Clinical Record 8: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 06/13/2023 with a terminal diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Clinical record review revealed the initial spiritual assessment was dated 06/19/2023, 6 days after the start of care. The initial comprehensive assessment was not completed within 5 calendar days of election of benefit, when the initial spiritual assessment was not completed until 6 days after the start of care and 1 day outstanding. Clinical Record 14: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 01/04/2023 with a terminal diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Clinical record review revealed the initial psychosocial assessment was dated 01/12/2023, 8 days after the start of care. The initial comprehensive assessment was not completed within 5 calendar days of election of benefit, when the initial psychosocial assessment was not completed until 8 days after the start of care and 3 days outstanding. During a joint record review and interview on 01/24/2024, the Director of Nursing agreed there was no documented evidence that the initial spiritual and psychosocial assessments were completed no later than five days after the election of hospice care.”

Discharge or transfer of care (42 CFR 418.104(e)(2)(i))
The inspectors’ words, 176 words
“It is required that if a patient revokes the election of hospice care or is discharged from hospice per hospice regulation §418.26 (i.e., no longer terminally ill), the hospice forwards to the patient’s attending physician a copy of the hospice discharge summary. This standard was not met as evidenced by clinical record review and interview. In 1 of 2 (50%) clinical records reviewed of patients who revoked hospice services, the hospice did not ensure the discharge summary was forwarded to the patient’s attending physician. Clinical Record 11: The patient elected the hospice benefit on 07/28/2022 with a terminal diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. The discharge summary dated 07/21/2023 included documentation that the family decided to revoke hospice services and the patient’s family member signed the revocation form on 07/21/2023. The clinical record contained no documented evidence that the discharge summary was forwarded to the patient’s attending physician. During a joint record review and interview on 01/22/2024, the Director of Nursing agreed there was no documented evidence that the discharge summary was forwarded to the patient’s attending physician.”

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.
