a state resurvey for an F tag?

[aiker31]

Just wondering, can an F tag trigger a resurvey? state surveyors had their exit and didnt mention anything about a resurvey. then we got the notice last week of the deficiencies and all that and we have one F and one of our clinical consultant suggested that we have to be ready for a resurvey. can someone clear this for me? I never encountered and F tag and this is the first one so i dont know if i need to be worried for a resurvey. response will be very much appreciated.

I am writing from illinois. I am assuming you are talking scope/severity being a F. In that case, as resurvey would depend on if it was substandard quality of care (ie the deficiency written under on of the care tags like 225, 323, etc). We, as a general rule, only do revisits on level three deficiencies (G or above). The only time a level two deficiency (D, E, F) requires a revisit is if it is at a F at SQOC. However...you know what they are going to be looking at when the come in, so just make sure it is corrected!! In our state, as long as a complaint is not done with the revisit, all they are looking at is the tag that was originally written. Hope that helps

Ok, question for surveyors. I keep hearing, now, thru the grapevine, that my previous facility is going to be resurveyed. The QIS survey exited 7/8/2011, 2567 was recieved and the POC/AOC submitted for 8/8/2011. SUrveryors have been back in the building allegedly on re-survey, but staff are unsure/unclear.... the surveryors have been back at least twice. My guess is on complaint survey but since the AOC was alleged during the same time, this might be throwing a different slant on things? HOw many times would a building be resurveyed, for one G citation, which was AOC'd within 2 weeks of surveyor exit? (actually the issue was resolved before they originally exited). Curious to say the least.
