Description

The two-day OASIS-D1 data collection rules and guidance workshop provides effective, up-to-the-minute education targeted for field data collectors, their supervisors, and those preparing for the Certificate for OASIS Specialist – Clinical (COS-C) exam. The COS-C exam will be offered the day following the workshop (optional; details below).

Experience the comprehensive and nationally-acclaimed Blueprint for OASIS Accuracy workshop and learn to confidently teach, audit, and collect OASIS-D1 items accurately. Through guided, expert instruction, and participation in problem-solving discussions and application scenarios, you can achieve mastery of the OASIS items, conventions, and the latest data collection rules through this workshop.

Rather than provide opinions, assumptions, or unfounded interpretations, the speakers will model reliance on Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) guidance documents and provide and demonstrate strategies for how to find defendable answers to your OASIS questions.

Breakfast and lunch are provided on both days of the workshop.

Attendees are encouraged to dress in layers as room temperatures vary and may be cool.
