A Collaborative Approach to OASIS-E

Accurate Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) coding is essential for all home health clinicians due to the direct impact quality indicators will have on anagency's star rating. With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) plan to move to a universal outcome measure for all post-acute settings, OASIS willbecome an important tool beyond home health. Payment through Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) and Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) are driven, at least in part, by improvement as measured through OASIS. This course will provide easy to use and understand methods that will improve a clinician's ability to provide correct coding to all OASIS-C and D (cognitive and mental health) items.

This course will provide sample questions throughout the course to ensure the participant's understanding. This live instructional format will provide ample opportunity to interact and ask questions of the instructor. Clinicians conducting OASIS assessments will immediately see improved understanding of accurate OASIS coding, as will those participating in collaborative assessments now allowed by CMS.
