The following message has been posted to the Show Me Long Term Care website.
Important Notice
Due to the transition to the new federal survey and certification system, iQIES (a web-based platform developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), that manages and evaluates the quality of healthcare services for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries), there has been a temporary disruption in the availability of the latest survey and complaint investigation results for certified Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) on the Show Me Long Term Care platform as required by RSMo Section 198.528. This disruption does not impact inspection and complaint investigation information for state-licensed only Nursing Facilities (NF) and Intermediate Care Facilities (ICF), Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) and Residential Care Facilities (RCF).
Temporary Solutions
- While a fix is being developed for the Show Me Long Term Care site, users are advised to visit the Nursing Home Compare website to access the most up-to-date information regarding certified nursing home surveys and complaint investigations.
- State regulations require long-term care facilities to retain and make available for public inspection at the facility to facility personnel, residents, their next of kin, legal representatives or designees and the general public, a list of names, addresses and occupations of all individuals who have a property interest in the facility as well as a complete copy of each official notification from the Department of Health and Senior Services (the department) of violations, deficiencies, licensure approval, disapprovals, or a combination of these, and responses. This includes, as a minimum, statements of deficiencies, copies of plan(s) of correction, acceptance or rejection notice regarding the plan(s) of corrections and revisit inspection report.
- Sunshine requests for copies of statements of deficiencies and plans of correction for skilled nursing facility inspections/complaint investigations can also be made at the department’s Sunshine and Records Request website.
