Description

Prepare now for the 2025 Discharge Function Score- the change from current outcomes measures based on the M1800 OASIS items to a single measure that relies on the GG OASIS items and impacts 20% of the VBP Total Performance Score. Despite having a full set of GG0130 and GG0170 OASIS items for five years, home health clinicians and clinical leadership staff often remain unable to accurately assess and score (code) the GG items. This session will cover interpreting how the calculation of the Discharge Function Score works for administrators and clinical leadership, as well as instructions for accurately coding the GG items using real-world scenarios and focusing on the most misunderstood aspects of the GG items for clinical leadership and clinicians.

Objectives

• The attendee will identify how the Discharge Function Score is calculated for Home Health Value Based Purchasing, and its related timelines.
• The attendee will understand instructions for accurately coding OASIS GG items according to general OASIS guidance as well as item-specific guidance.
• The attendee will list strategies for assessing patient function for the professional assessment and the OASIS data collection tool as part of the comprehensive assessment of patients.
