Abstract
A statement of deficiencies is a document containing the DIA Health Facilities Division’s comprehensive inspection of a nursing facility. It documents identified non-compliance with federal certification requirements using a federal tag (F-tag) numbering system along with a detailed explanation of each deficiency. The inspection is necessary for the nursing facility to continue to receive funding from Medicare and Medicaid. There is also a statement of deficiencies that documents any identified areas of non-compliance with state licensure rules. The statement of deficiencies serves as a tool for the facility to use to correct issues that are not up to minimal standards of care as mandated by the state and federal governments.
