What is OASIS-E?
Since its inception in 1999, home health’s Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) has undergone several revisions targeted at enhancing validity and reducing collection time. Many of these changes have been directly related to the Impact Act of 2014 (Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act), which implemented common standards and definitions when transitioning a patient from one care setting to another across the various post-acute care settings, and ultimately improve patient care.
OASIS accuracy is, and will continue to be, vital to home health operations going forward with OASIS-E. Home health agency’s quality measures, data collection, and reimbursement are all linked to the OASIS standardized instrument.
How can HealthRev help you unlock the full potential of HHVBP?
