Definitions1

Immediate jeopardy complaints allege a situation that indicates that there continues to be an immediate risk of serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident. State survey agencies are required to start an on-site investigation within two business days of receipt of complaint or incidence report.

Non-Immediate Jeopardy - High (High Priority) complaints allege a situation in which the provider's non-compliance with one or more Federal requirements may have caused harm that negatively impacts the individual's mental, physical, and/or psychosocial status and are of such consequence to the person's well-being that a rapid response by the State survey agency is indicated. State survey agencies must initiate an on-site survey within ten business days of prioritization.

1 During the period of our review (2016 - 2018), this provision of the State Operations Manual used "working days" in place of "business days." Effective July 19, 2019, CMS revised Chapter 5 under Rev. 191 and replaced "working days'" with "business days."
