from other sources such as the "Choosing WI Residential Options"

Review individual Wisconsin
Administrative Codes, Chapter HFS 132 (exit
DHFS).
Citation Class Code definitions (from Wisconsin
Statutes (exit DHFS), Chapter
50):
50.04(4)(b) Classification of
violations.
1. A
class "A" violation is a violation of this subchapter or of the
rules promulgated thereunder which creates a condition or occurrence
relating to the operation and maintenance of a nursing home
presenting a substantial probability that death or serious mental or
physical harm to a resident will result therefrom.
2. A class "B" violation is a violation
of this subchapter or of the rules promulgated thereunder which
creates a condition or occurrence relating to the operation and
maintenance of a nursing home directly threatening to the health,
safety or welfare of a resident.
3. A class "C" violation is a violation
of this subchapter or of the rules promulgated thereunder which
creates a condition or occurrence relating to the operation and
maintenance of a nursing home which does not directly threaten the
health, safety or welfare of a resident.
Depending on a facility's compliance history
and its response when the deficiency is brought to its attention, a nursing home
surveyor has three options in assessing a class "C" violation:
1. Entering a notation.
A surveyor enters a notation if the same state code provision has not been
cited against the facility in the previous two years, and facility staff correct
the deficient practice before the end of the survey. Where a surveyor enters
a notation for a class "C" violation, the citation list will have
'CLASS C DEFICIENCY -- CORRECTED BEFORE VISIT COMPLETED' entered under
'CLASS CODE'.
2. Entering a correction order. A surveyor
enters a correction order if the same state code provision has not been
cited against the facility in the previous two years, and the facility staff do not correct
the deficient practice before the end of the survey. Where a surveyor enters a correction
order, the citation list will have 'CLASS C DEFICIENCY -- CORRECTION ORDER SERVED'
entered under 'CLASS CODE'.
3. Sanctioning as an unmodified class 'C' violation.
A surveyor cites a deficiency as a class 'C' deficiency, subject to all forfeitures and
other penalties that are prescribed for offenses of that level, if the facility was cited
for the same state code provision within the past two years. A surveyor will also cite a facility with an unmodified class 'C' violation
if, during a facility revisit, he or she determines that a facility has failed to correct a
class 'C' deficiency that had originally resulted in issuance of a correction order. In addition, if
a surveyor conducts a revisit and finds that a deficiency that had originally been cited as a class 'A' or 'B'
violation now only poses an indirect risk of harm, he or she may recite the deficiency as an unmodified
class 'C' violation. Where a surveyor cites a facility with an unmodified class 'C' violation, the citation
list will have 'CLASS C DEFICIENCY' entered under 'CLASS CODE'.
