What F655 requires

F655 corresponds to the federal standard: Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted. When a surveyor finds that a facility is not meeting this standard, they cite the tag and assign a scope/severity letter (A–L) describing how widespread the issue is and how much harm it caused.

Severity distribution

  • Level 4 — Immediate jeopardy 19
  • Level 3 — Actual harm 17
  • Level 2 — No actual harm, potential for more than minimal 3,069
  • Level 1 — Potential for minimal harm 64

Methodology F655 counts reflect publicly-filed deficiency findings from state survey teams working under federal contract. A citation is not a court judgment or admission of wrongdoing. Facilities may contest findings through Informal Dispute Resolution (IDR/IIDR).
