This memorandum alerts the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to the preliminary results of our ongoing review of potential abuse or neglect of Medicare beneficiaries in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). This audit is part of the ongoing efforts of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to detect and combat elder abuse. We are communicating these preliminary results because of the importance of detecting and combating elder abuse. Also, according to Government Auditing Standards, "early communication to those charged with governance or management may be important because of their relative significance and the urgency for corrective follow-up action."
