Strategic compliance and case advancement
Regulatory analysis and compliance review for matters where the question is what the rules required.
ECS supports legal teams with expert compliance analysis, strategic guidance, evidence-based case preparation and risk mitigation across healthcare and senior care.
Typical work includes reviewing conduct against federal requirements at 42 CFR Part 483 and the applicable state licensing framework, analysing survey history and plans of correction, and explaining where common practice and the written standard diverge.
Who it is for
Counsel whose case turns on what the rules required: survey history, plans of correction, the facility assessment, or the interaction between federal requirements and state licensure.
What it includes
- Regulatory and common practice review
- Survey history and plan of correction analysis
- Compliance risk assessment
- Evidence-based case preparation support
How it works
Framework
Identify which rules govern: 42 CFR Part 483 for certified facilities, state licensure for everyone, and state assisted living rules where federal requirements do not reach.
Survey history
Read the CMS Form 2567 citations and scope and severity letters, and test whether each plan of correction was carried out.
Facility assessment
Compare the facility's own assessment under 42 CFR 483.71 with what it actually staffed and provided.
Gap analysis
Set common practice against the written standard and explain where they diverge, in terms a jury can follow.
