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

Methodology F836 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).
