OASIS D on Windows Pc

Find the home health care OASIS insight you need to accurately complete the assessment the first time, every time! OASIS-D Mobile provides tips extracted from our OASIS On-the-Go, Reference for Field Clinicians eBook and pairs them with the official guidance found in the OASIS-D Guidance Manual and online.

OASIS-D Mobile allows you to access OASIS guidance anywhere, anytime – even while visiting patients in remote areas with unreliable, or even nonexistent, WiFi. You can quickly navigate to instruction for any item with a few simple touches/swipes. No need to contact the clinical supervisor back in the office to look up the answer to a nuanced patient situation. No more thumbing through hundreds of pages of official guidance to find the answer yourself if that supervisor isn’t available.

OASIS-D Mobile provides official instruction from CMS’s OASIS-D Guidance Manual, the CMS OASIS Q&As, the Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN) and the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP). That guidance is supplemented with content found within the in-depth articles that make up the OASIS On-the-Go, Reference for Field Clinicians – clinical and documentation tips, as well as prompts and questions to ask the patient to help you accurately assess each item.

NOTE: Per the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) – “The Outcome and ASsessment Information Set (OASIS) is a group of data elements that:

• Represent core items of a comprehensive assessment for an adult home care patient; and

• Form the basis for measuring patient outcomes for purposes of outcome-based quality improvement (OBQI).

The OASIS is a key component of Medicare's partnership with the home care industry to foster and monitor improved home health care outcomes and is proposed to be an integral part of the revised Conditions of Participation for Medicare-certified home health agencies (HHAs). …

The goal was not to produce a comprehensive assessment instrument, but to provide a set of data items necessary for measuring patient outcomes and essential for assessment – which HHAs in turn could augment as they judge necessary. Overall, the OASIS items have utility for outcome monitoring, clinical assessment, care planning, and other internal agency-level applications.
