Description

Originally developed for use in early 2000, the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) has changed and grown over the last 23 years. No longer is it just a patient assessment tool. Your agency's outcomes and reimbursement rely heavily on how well this information is documented from the beginning to the end of each episode.

Do you and your staff know the ins and outs of OASIS?

Do you know how this information is used to determine your outcomes or how the patient revenue will be calculated?

During this OASIS workshop – offered live via webinar - we will explore all the details of OASIS-E. By using the current OASIS guidance manual, examples, and real-world patient scenarios, you will learn how to formulate a plan for your agency to improve patient assessment, outcomes, and reimbursement.

Special note regarding class materials:

• Handouts will be provided electronically to virtual attendees.

Learning Objectives

After this workshop, the active participants will be able to:

• List four uses of OASIS data within the home care agency.
• Verbalize understanding of how OASIS data is collected, used to calculate outcomes, and where this information is reported and accessed by both the home care agency and the consumer.
• Explain the eight specific OASIS items used in the calculation of the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) functional level adjustment and how these points are translated.
• Formulate a plan to educate clinical staff on the top three areas of OASIS deficiency within their agency through a review of OASIS items, CASPER (Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports), OASIS scrubbers, and other agency resources.
