Written by Valarie Johnson, PTMS, COQS, CHHCM, HCS-D, HCS-O, Senior Clinical Educator, WellSky
CMS has released its draft OASIS-E guidance manual, including the initial guidance for the new data elements that will be collected beginning on January 1, 2023. Now is the perfect time to begin introducing your agency stakeholders to these new data elements.
To successfully transition to OASIS-E, agencies should add knowledge of the new items on top of a solid foundation of existing OASIS-D1 knowledge. OASIS educator Valarie Johnson recently presented an important webinar that walked agencies through the OASIS-E changes and showed a glimpse of the guidance surrounding the new data elements. This webinar is now available to watch on-demand. Now, in a new tip sheet, Valarie answers frequently asked questions about OASIS items.
You’ll get answers to these questions and more:
- Has the outcome measure for M1242 been removed or replaced with one of these new measures?
- How is the POC impacted if the clinical diagnosis is no longer in OASIS-E?
- Will the section GG items be used for a functional score like Skilled Nursing PDPM?
- Where do you look for medication indication?
