OASIS E Preparation Webinar Series
Series Title –  OASIS E Prep: Building Blocks for Success
Target Audience – RN, PT, OT, SLP, Quality / Reviewer Staff

2022 is shaping up to be quite a year for home health agencies as Home Health Value Based Purchasing and OASIS E will require preparation that will consume already limited resources. Changes to OASIS have always increased stress for all organizational levels. Waiting until the end of the year to educate staff collides with the holiday season – a time that is very busy for agencies under normal circumstances.

It is important to keep perspective. Not every item in OASIS E is “new” as many of the current items remain in the updated tool. That being said, items related to the functional assessment have been a source of frustration for both clinicians and reviewers as they are a consistent area where corrections are needed. Effectively preparing for OASIS E must include a focus on dealing with issues related to the “old” items in a way that reduces errors in 2022. This increases the ability of the organization to address the “new” items as implementation draws closer and minimize errors and corrections in 2023.

• Session 2 – OASIS E Prep: HHVBP, Wounds and Cognition
  • Objectives:
    • Address data collection issues related to OASIS items used for HHVBP.
    • Create consistency between the clinical assessment of wounds and the corresponding OASIS items
    • Understand the identification of and care planning related to cognitive issues as captured in the OASIS document
