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, 1,177 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: 45521 Based on review of documentation and interviews with facility staff, the facility failed to provide an appropriate and thorough medical screening examination within the capability of the hospital’s emergency department to determine whether an emergency medical condition existed for 1 of 20 (Patient #1) patients reviewed that presented to the emergency department (ED). There was not complete medical screening exam of Patient #1’s knee sufficient to determine the cause of the patient’s condition. Findings Include: The complete medical record of Patient #1’s ED visit on 10/17/2023 was reviewed. It was noted: Patient #1 was brought to the ED for right knee pain. Patient # 1 final diagnoses in ED Notes by staff # 7 MD-ED were: “Contusion of right knee, initial encounter effusion of right knee, fall from slip, trip, or stumble, initial encounter and pain due to trauma.” Knee, right 3 Views (KNEE 3 VIEWS RT) x-ray “IMPRESSION: Moderate tricompartmental osteoarthritic changes. Small suprapatellar joint effusion.” On 10/17/2023 at 9:47 PM it is documented that Patient # 1 was provided crutches and a knee immobilization. “Distal pulses intact. Crutches fit to patient; Crutch instructions given to patient; Patient demonstrated good use of crutches” on 10/17/23 [at] 2150. “pt given verbal immobilizer care instructions.” on 10/17/23[at] 2150. Patient #1 was discharged to home with a prescription for Hydrocodone-acetaminophen 7.5-325 mg tablet, oral every six hours as needed for pain. Mobic 15 mg by mouth every day. Ondansetron ODT 4mg tablet, oral every 6 hours as needed for nausea or vomiting. Patient # 1 was given follow-up information to see her primary care physician in 2 days and if symptoms worsen return to the Emergency Room. It is then documented “There are no referrals from this visit.” There is no documentation to indicate that the ED physician assessed the patients knee for: swelling, skin instability, ligament and tendon assessment. The patient had a risk for loss of a limb and function of the right lower extremity. A review of the Policy Medical Screening Examinations and Patient Transfers revealed the following: page 2 section 4.0 subsect 4.1.1a “Persons coming to the Emergency Department and Labor and Delivery Department. Any person who comes to Hospital Emergency Department (ED) and requests an examination or treatment for a medical condition shall receive an appropriate Medical Screening Examination by a physician or other Qualified Medical Person as defined in Section 5.0, within the Capability of the ED, including ancillary services routinely available to the ED to determine whether or not the person has an Emergency Medical Condition.” ... There is no documentation in the physical exam to indicate that the ED physician assessed the patients knee for: swelling, skin instability, ligament and tendon assessment. An interview with the staff # 4, MD-Chief of Staff-ED on 12/18/2023 at approximately 11:15 AM revealed the following: Surveyor: Who reads the radiology report? Staff # 4: The Radiologist does. Surveyor: Why was an MRI not done? Staff # 4: An MRI is almost never done for a knee. The MRI remains open for life threatening emergencies and possibly hip fractures. This patient had no fracture, so no further testing was done. Surveyor: Would you observe the knee during a knee assessment? Staff # 4: Yes, and it is noted in the evaluation that no abnormalities were noted. Surveyor: Would you consult with Ortho for a knee fracture? Staff # 4 : No, that would not be usual. The patient might be admitted and keep the knee stable until the next day when surgery could be done. Surveyor: Is it unusual for a patient with no fracture to be provided an immobilizer and crutches? Staff # 4: No, If the patient has pain and pending an Ortho appointment, it would be standard. Surveyor: How often are knee fractures missed? Staff # 4: “I can’t remember the last one.””

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.
