How does SeniorCRE run ePOC submission and an IJ removal plan when the survey result is bad?
Design target · Internal estimate
First-submission acceptance; fewer repeat tags
Modeled estimate from SeniorCRE engineering. Not a result: no approved Evidence Record supports it, and business outcomes remain contributory. See Industry Findings for methodology.
Incumbents this workflow touches
Proposed in-platform scope: Word-doc POC drafted under deadline
Roadmap integration targets (not live): ASPEN/iQIES (CMS survey systems) · State survey portals
The operator may retain existing systems or select SeniorCRE for defined functions. Alongside existing systems, this workflow would depend on approved source access, implementation and operator acceptance. Named vendor integrations are roadmap targets, not completed connections.
The problem
A bad survey produces a 2567 with cited F-tags, an ePOC deadline, and — in the worst case — an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) requiring a 24-hour removal plan and surveyor revisit. On a fragmented stack, the POC is drafted in Word under deadline, the IJ removal plan is faxed, and the monitoring evidence is collected in a folder nobody reopens.
How the platform is designed to run it
Every cited tag enters an ePOC workflow with the regulatory citation, the responsible party, the corrective action and the monitoring plan, with deadlines tied to the state’s acceptance clock. IJ removal generates a 24-hour plan template, assigns the immediate corrective actions to named staff with timestamps, and produces the evidence packet the surveyor will revisit. Monitoring data captures continuously over the prescribed timeframe.
Proposed operating behavior, not a live deployment. Source access, implementation and operator acceptance must be established before this workflow can operate in a community.
On the shift (illustrative)
Illustrative example on synthetic data. Names, figures, and events are not from any operator community.
The 2567 lands at noon Friday with six F-tags. By Friday evening each tag is open in the ePOC workflow with a citation reference, an owner, a corrective action, and the monitoring plan and clock. The IJ on F-tag 689 (abuse) triggers the 24-hour removal workflow: immediate corrective actions assigned to named staff with timestamps, evidence captured on device, and the removal packet ready for the surveyor revisit Saturday. Monitoring then runs continuously over the prescribed 90 days.
Design target
ePOCs get accepted on first submission instead of after revisions. IJ removal is documented in evidence form, not narrative. Repeat F-tags at the next survey drop because the monitoring actually ran.
Design target only: not measured or validated in any community. Actual results require an operator baseline and pilot acceptance.
What goes wrong without it
On the Word-doc POC, the team works through the weekend and submits a narrative with the corrective actions described. The state rejects it twice for vagueness; the IJ removal hangs an extra day. The monitoring evidence is collected in a folder for the first six weeks, then forgotten. The same F-tag — and the same root cause — reappears at the next survey.
