What F836 requires
F836 corresponds to the federal standard: Ensure the facility is licensed under applicable State and local law and operates and provides services in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, and codes, and with accepted professional standards.. 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 11
- Level 2 — No actual harm, potential for more than minimal 312
- Level 1 — Potential for minimal harm 44
