What F711 requires

F711 corresponds to the federal standard: Ensure the resident's doctor reviews the resident's care, writes, signs and dates progress notes and orders, at each required visit.. 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 4
  • Level 3 — Actual harm 8
  • Level 2 — No actual harm, potential for more than minimal 515
  • Level 1 — Potential for minimal harm 14

Methodology F711 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).
