Last Day of Survey

7205.1 - Last Day of Survey (Rev. 185, Issued: 11-16-18, Effective: 11-16-18, Implementation: 11-16-18) The last day of survey is the last day of onsite observations during a survey, regardless of whether the exit conference was performed on that same day. For purposes of computing three months or six months from a finding of noncompliance when the health and life safety code portions of the survey are on the same enforcement track, use the last day of onsite observations of the standard health survey on which the noncompliance was identified, regardless of which survey preceded the other. Even when the life safety code was the second of the two surveys to be performed on the same enforcement track, and it was the survey that found the noncompliance, the clock still starts on the last day of the standard health survey and will always be used to begin counting the number of noncompliance days. For purposes of the first notice of noncompliance, use the last day of the survey that found the cited noncompliance. When two separate enforcement tracks are being used (one track for the health portion and one track for the life safety code portion of the standard survey), the mandatory denial of payment for new admissions and termination time frames would be three months and six months, respectively, for each separate portion.
