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.

Medical Screening Exam
The inspectors’ words, 1,314 words
“MEDICAL SCREENING EXAM CFR(s): 489.24(a) & 489.24(c) (a) Applicability of provisions of this section. (1) In the case of a hospital that has an emergency department, if an individual (whether or not eligible for Medicare benefits and regardless of ability to pay) “comes to the emergency department”, as defined in paragraph (b) of this section, the hospital must- (i) Provide an appropriate medical screening examination within the capability of the hospital’s emergency department, including ancillary services routinely available to the emergency department, to determine whether or not an emergency medical condition exists. The examination must be conducted by an individual(s) who is determined qualified by hospital bylaws or rules and regulations and who meets the requirements of §482.55 of this chapter concerning emergency services personnel and direction; and (ii) If an emergency medical condition is determined to exist, provide any necessary stabilizing treatment, as defined in paragraph (d) of this section, or an appropriate transfer as defined in paragraph (e) of this section. If the hospital admits the individual as an inpatient for further treatment, the hospital’s obligation under this section ends, as specified in paragraph (d)(2) of this section. (2)(i) When a waiver has been issued in accordance with section 1135 of the Act that includes a waiver under section 1135(b)(3) of the Act, sanctions under this section for an inappropriate transfer or for the direction or relocation of an individual to receive medical screening at an alternate location do not apply to a hospital with a dedicated emergency department if the following conditions are met: (A) The transfer is necessitated by the circumstances of the declared emergency in the emergency area during the emergency period. (B) The direction or relocation of an individual to receive medical screening at an alternate location is pursuant to an appropriate State emergency preparedness plan or, in the case of a public health emergency that involves a pandemic infectious disease, pursuant to a State pandemic preparedness plan. (C) The hospital does not discriminate on the basis of an individual’s source of payment or ability to pay. (D) The hospital is located in an emergency area during an emergency period, as those terms are defined in section 1135(g)(1) of the Act. (E) There has been a determination that a waiver of sanctions is necessary. (ii) A waiver of these sanctions is limited to a 72-hour period beginning upon the implementation of a hospital disaster protocol, except that, if a public health emergency involves a pandemic infectious disease (such as pandemic influenza), the waiver will continue in effect until the termination of the applicable declaration of a public health emergency, as provided under section 1135(e)(1)(B) of the Act. (c) Use of dedicated emergency department for nonemergency services. If an individual comes to a hospital’s dedicated emergency department and a request is made on his or her behalf for examination or treatment for a medical condition, but the nature of the request makes it clear that the medical condition is not of an emergency nature, the hospital is required only to perform such screening as would be appropriate for any individual presenting in that manner, to determine that the individual does not have an emergency medical condition. This Standard is not met as evidenced by: 21794 Based on interview, record review and document review, the facility failed to provide a medical screening examination (MSE) and treatment for 1 of 20 sampled patients (Patient 9). The deficient practice had the potential for further harm when not providing a medical screening and addressing a possible emergency medical condition. Findings include: Patient 9 (P9) arrived at the North 5th Street Emergency Department (ED) with spouse at approximately 11:00 PM of 01/03/2026 requesting medical care for difficulty breathing following an allergic reaction. Review of the ED Log for 01/03/2026, did not contain the name of P9, the chief complaint as the reason for medical care and treatment. The staffing schedules for the night shift on 01/03/2026, revealed there were two registered nurses, one registration/admitting employee, one security officer (Employee 9), and a Licensed Independent Practitioner (LIP) onsite the night of the incident. Review of the EMTALA training records revealed Employee 9 had not completed annual EMTALA training at the time of the incident. On 02/18/2026 at 3:45 PM, P9 confirmed the need for medical attention on 01/03/2026 and arrived at the 5th Street ED at approximately 11:00 PM on 01/03/2026. P9 shared there was a sign in the ED lobby with directions to ring the bell for assistance, but there was no bell available. After several minutes, a security guard presented at the window and informed the spouse and P9 the bell was removed and informed them that it would be a long time until P9 would be triaged and seen by the physician and may want to go to another ED. On 02/19/2026 at 8:05 AM, the spouse of P9 confirmed transporting P9 to the ED at approximately 11:00 PM on 01/03/2026 to obtain medical assistance due to difficulty breathing. The spouse also confirmed that there was no bell available to ring for assistance and the security guard encouraged them to seek care at another ED. The spouse acknowledged contacting 911 from the parking lot of the ED that night for assistance. On 02/19/2026 at 9:50 AM, the mother of, a minor patient who was first taken to the ED on 01/03/2026 confirmed requesting medical assistance for the patient but was informed of a long wait and then proceeded to leave to seek medical care at another facility. The mother indicated witnessing the fire department in the parking lot of the N. 5th Street ED interacting with P9. The mother stated, “she looked very sick”. On 02/24/2026 at 12:02 PM, the ED Charge Nurse confirmed speaking with two uniform firemen on 01/03/2026 and would not have refused care and did not speak to P9. The ED Charge Nurse had not spoken with the security guard in regard to the complaint, or at any time following the incident on 01/03/2026. The North Las Vegas Fire Department EMS Report was obtained on 03/03/2026, which confirmed a 911 call at approximately 11:03 AM on 01/03/2026, and reached the incident address of N. 5th St. North Las Vegas (ED), the address of the ED. The patient information on the report confirmed that it was P9 who requested their assistance. In an Interoffice Memorandum authored by a Fire Captain from the City of North Las Vegas dated 03/03/2026, noted that T58 (Call sign) was dispatched to the ED the N 5th St. North Las Vegas (ED) for a possible anaphylactic shock on 01/3/2026 at approximately 11:04 PM. It was noted P9 was found in a tripod position upon arrival and was treated by obtaining vitals. It was further noted in the Memo P9 and spouse told fire department that they were told P9 was not going to be treated. It was noted in the Memo that the Fire Captain and fire fighter entered the ED to speak with the Charge Nurse. It was noted the Charge Nurse did not tell P9 to leave and it was the patient’s choice to leave. The Charge Nurse finished by saying that she was busy and P9 can come wait in the waiting room. Review of facility policy entitled, EMTALA-Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, revealed the hospital would provide an individual with an appropriate medical Screening Examination within the capacity of the hospital’s ED. The MSE, including ancillary services routinely available to the ED, were to determine whether an emergency medical condition existed, regardless of the ability to pay, when an individual requested emergency medical care while in the dedicated ED. The facility’s policy titled “Annual Mandatory Education and Employment Requirements” dated January 2025, documented all employees and contract services staff were required to successfully complete mandated education training via the Learning Management System (LMS). Timely completion was required. Complaint #NV00075147”

What the record doesn’t say
- CMS doesn’t publish fines or other penalties for hospitals, so none are shown. The one payment cut CMS publishes for each hospital, under its Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program, is shown where it applies.
- Only complaints that led to a citation appear; complaints that didn’t aren’t published.
- Most hospitals are accredited by a private organisation (The Joint Commission, DNV and others) whose routine inspections stand in for the state’s; those reports aren’t public, and QCOR holds only the state’s surveys: no inspection on record here doesn’t mean none took place.
- QCOR says its hospital inspection data are complete only through September 17, 2026, while it moves to a new system.
- CMS doesn’t publish staffing levels for hospitals.
- In its September 2026 release CMS gives no comparison with the national rate for death and readmission rates, though it gives the rates.
