They are often conducted in tandem with health inspections. Examples include faulty or improperly maintained fire suppression and electrical systems.

Some state health departments and regional offices of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services sometimes did not upload their inspection reports into a central computer system that could then be shared by us. In such cases, CMS identified the dates of the missing inspections and the number of deficiencies identified. You can request the actual reports from CMS or your state health department.
* Deficiencies cited in follow-up inspections are not counted toward a facility's total deficiency count.
