OASIS-E: A Targeted Look at the Cognitive and Mental Health Assessments

Accurate OASIS coding is essential for all home health clinicians due to the direct impact quality indicators will have on an agency’s star rating. With the CMS plan to move to a universal outcome measure for all post-acute settings, OASIS will become an important tool beyond home health. Payment through PDGM and PDPM are driven, at least in part, by improvement as measured through OASIS. This course will provide easy to use methods that will improve a clinician’s ability to provide correct coding to all OASIS-C and D (cognitive and mental health) items.

This podcast will provide sample questions throughout the course to ensure the participant’s understanding. The podcast format will enable participants to listen and review the material at their own leisure, while providing an in-depth look at very specific sections of the OASIS. Clinicians conducting OASIS assessments will immediately see improved understanding of accurate OASIS coding, as will those participating in collaborative assessments now allowed by CMS.
