CMS surveys, deficiencies, and plans of correction are to some extent business as usual for large health care providers. The article doesn't mention what they got hit with so it could be a big deal, or just an isolated incident that a surveyor happened to observe.
Correcting the problem tends to be easy, but measuring and reporting back your progress creates administrative expense. An example is paying for someone to train your employees on something related to the deficiency and then doing a random audit of their records at regular intervals for a few months afterwards.
Technically you can get shut down, but it isn't common.

- aczerepinski 11y agoAgreed, but I've been through multiple CMS surveys, some with deficiencies, some without. Some POCs were scary, some laughable. Personnel issues can be trivial (somebody's cpr certification expired yesterday) or serious (you hired somebody who claims to be a doctor but isn't). It's really hard to weigh in as an outsider.
