After a previous delay, a new assessment tool is scheduled to arrive at all our home health stations on January 1, 2023. Hop aboard the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) “E” train with J’non Griffin of SimiTree Healthcare Consulting for this full-day workshop and get ready for the trip ahead. The transition to this version will be a challenge but it should not be a bumpy ride if your team, that is involved in OASIS data collection and review, are prepared. After boarding this OASIS-E train either in-depth stops will be made at all the version changes including the new aspects related to social determinants of health, increased behavioral assessments, and how it will help facilitate the transfer of health information between post-acute providers. Understanding how the updated version of OASIS impacts the start, resumption, and discharge of care is critical to succeeding both clinically and financially under your value-based purchasing journey.
