Renville Health Services: TB Testing Failure - MN
The resident, identified in inspection records as R12, should have been tested within 72 hours of admission. That didn't happen. A progress note from May 11, 2026, more than six weeks after admission, documented that blood had been drawn for a T-spot test, a standard blood-based TB screening. No follow-up documentation showed whether the sample ever reached the lab, or what any results might have been.
It never reached the lab. The director of nursing, interviewed by inspectors on June 15 at 5:18 p.m., explained what went wrong: the facility drew the blood but failed to include the accompanying form identifying the resident and specifying what was being tested. Without it, the process stopped.
She also acknowledged the delay itself. The facility had been conducting internal audits after discovering it had missed TB testing for some residents. R12 was missed during that audit, too.
The violation was cited at the minimal harm level, affecting a single resident. Federal inspectors reviewed the facility's tuberculosis prevention and control policy, dated January 21, 2025, which states all new residents are to be screened and tested within 72 hours of admission.
R12's test was never completed. As of the June 15 inspection, there was no documentation of results, no record confirming the sample was redrawn, and no indication the gap had been closed.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
