We have never been cited to my knowledge
however I do know that the survey team reviews all the investigations done that
didn’t get reported to the state which implies you could get cited.
Otherwise, there would be no point in asking to see them.

I had a similiar
experience in a former facility a few years ago. In that case the CNA had been
investigated and terminated for verbal abuse to the resident. However, we had
not reported it to the state.

We reported this to the state after the surveyors treated it as
grounds for a deficiency. It was investigated when it occurred and that led to the
reprimand... I am not involved with employee discipline... I would assume
compliance rounds would be made behind her for awhile. My administrator
wanted to know if it was normal for a deficiency to be written from our
disciplinary action.

Did
you report this mistreatment to the state, or investigate the
mistreatment when it occurred?

Subject: survey question- disciplinary action used to write a defeciency?
On a recent complaint investigation the surveyors asked to see an
ex-employee's personal file. It contained a disciplinary action r/t her
residents found wet (saturated) and having dried BM on them. The employee
was reprimanded for this (she was terminated later that day due to another
issue that was not related to resident care). In the exit interview (we have
not received the written deficiencies yet) the reprimand was referred to
give us F224, F225 & F226. Has anyone ever heard of this being done?
