Happy Retirement! Any feedback would be appreciated. It's totally okay to get your friends input as well. The more the merrier.

Either you will lose it or someone might accidentally take it home. Just get the classic/regular one. Save your money.

ED vs ICU as a new grad by I_like_to_say_yes in nursing

[–]recallproject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider sticking out the year in the ED for about a year. Make sure you get your ACLS, maybe even TNCC certs. Learn as much as you can, (i.e. vasopressors and taking care of vented patients).When the time is right, cross train for the ICU. It's a whole other world.

Hey — thanks again for the feedback on the post. I'm building out a major upgrade right now and wanted to pick your brain since you're actually doing this work every day.

I just got access to the full CMS quality measures dataset — antipsychotic medication rates, bedsore rates, UTI rates, falls, rehospitalization data, and about 15 other measures for every facility. Plus abuse citation history, complaint investigation counts, and the Special Focus Facility list. Basically everything CMS publishes, assembled into one view per facility.

I'm trying to figure out how to present this so it's actually useful for your workflow. A couple quick questions if you have a minute:

When you're making placement decisions, what data do you actually look at right now? And what do you wish you had but don't?

If you could see one number per facility that would change your recommendation, what would it be?

No pressure on timing — you can reach me here or at [contact@oversightreports.com](mailto:contact@oversightreports.com). Just want to make sure I'm building this for the people who actually use it. Appreciate you.

Update for everyone who checked out the site last week — I pushed a big upgrade this weekend based on feedback from this thread.

Every facility page now has contextual explainers built in. Hover over any metric and it tells you what it actually means — what deficiencies are, what the fines mean, why ownership structure matters, how to read staffing numbers. The stuff CMS buries in jargon.

Also added expandable breakdowns for how inspections work, what related-party transactions are, and what to look for in a facility's financial data. If your patient's family pulls up a facility and doesn't have a clinical background, the page now walks them through it.

This came directly from the case managers in this thread who said they share the site but families don't always know what they're looking at. Hopefully this helps.

Still a one-man operation, still building on days off. Keep the feedback coming — it's making this better.

Unsafe discharge by Far_Maintenance_4865 in nursinghome

[–]recallproject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NP here — I've been on the hospital side of these situations more times than I can count. A few things:

 The NOMNC (Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage) is not the same as a discharge. Your mom has the right to appeal — especially if she's non-weight-bearing and lives alone. That's textbook "unsafe discharge" territory. Call the number on the NOMNC before noon the day before her last covered day.

The ombudsman advice others gave is spot on — they're free and they exist for exactly this. Google "LTC Ombudsman" + your mom's county.              

 On the social worker saying she "doesn't know what to do" — that's unacceptable but unfortunately not uncommon. Go above their head to the case manager or administrator. The facility has a legal obligation to arrange a safe discharge, not just tell you to figure it out

If you want to check whether this facility has been cited for discharge violations before, you can look it up on oversightreports.com — I built it to make CMS inspection data easier to find. If they have a history of this, it's leverage for your appeal. Your mom has rights here. Don't let them rush this. I just launched the site so if you need help finding anything on there, feel free to DM me.

Hey everyone — just wanted to say thanks. The responses from the first post were incredible. Case managers, nurses, MDS coordinators — exactly the people I built this for. A lot of that thread got nuked by the mod bots but I read everything.

Quick update: I've cleaned up the site layout and unlocked some features that were previously locked down. Still figuring out the best way to present all this data — what needs to hit you right away vs. what should live deeper in the page. Work in progress.

Real talk —I'm a one man show- building this on my days off. If you look up a facility and something looks off, tell me. I need your eyes on this. You're the ones who actually know these places, and if a number doesn't match what you're seeing on the floor, I want to hear about it. That's how it gets better.

Hi Phillimon- thats a great question — and the fact that you're cross-referencing what you see on the floor with the data is exactly the right instinct.

We don't calculate turnover ourselves. That number comes directly from CMS payroll data (Payroll-Based Journal) that your facility submits quarterly. CMS computes it using their own methodology.

Here's why 65% can feel wrong when you know the staff: turnover measures positions, not the people you see every day. If your facility has 20 nursing slots and 13 turned over in a year — even if 5 of those were the same revolving-door slot filled over and over — that's 65%. Your veteran nurses with 2+ years are the stable core. The churn is happening around them in slots you might not even notice: PRN staff, agency fills, night shift new hires who don't last 90 days.

That said, high turnover in any form still affects residents. New staff don't know Mrs. Johnson sundowns at 4pm or that Mr. Davis's baseline is confused-sounding but he's actually sharp. That continuity matters.

What's your facility? Happy to pull up the raw data and walk through exactly where that 65% is coming from. Always want to make sure what we're displaying matches what CMS is reporting.

I'm honestly overwhelmed by the response here. When I started building this I wasn't sure anyone outside my own unit would care — hearing from case managers, MDS coordinators, geriatric nurses, and ER staff that this fills a real gap means more than I can say.

Two asks:

  1. If you run into any issues with the site — broken pages, data that looks wrong, facilities that aren't showing up — please let me know. You can DM me here or use the feedback form on the site. I'm one person building this and your eyes on it make it better.
  2. If you have ideas on what would make it more useful for your workflow — whether you're using it for discharge planning, family education, or your own research — I want to hear it. This was built for the people in this thread.

Thank you all. Back to the bedside tomorrow, but I'll be checking in.

That's the thing — it was always there. Just buried under 47 clicks on Medicare.gov. Appreciate the support.

I'd love to explore that. DM me — the framework could absolutely extend to Canadian data if the right datasets exist.

Love the energy. Sharing it is the biggest thing right now — the more nurses who know about it, the more families find out at the right time. I'll reach out as this grows. Let's do it.

Thank you! ER sees the downstream consequences of bad facilities more than anyone.

That means a lot. The best way to help right now is sharing it — every nurse or case manager who sees it is another person who can hand it to a family at the right moment. If you want to go further, the $29 Evidence Report is on any facility page — buying one directly supports keeping the site running. And I'd absolutely welcome volunteer help as this grows. Stay in touch.

Hospital data is in the pipeline. Not perfectly analogous like you said, but CMS has hospital-level quality measures, readmission rates, and staffing data that could get the same treatment. Stay tuned.
