OASIS Review
What Is an OASIS Review and Why It Matters Under PDGM
Identified as a detailed and careful quality check of the outcome and assessment information set, OASIS is beneficial for home health patients. The aim of the review is to evaluate whether the OASIS responses can be supported by clinical records and to determine whether they support consistency with the condition, documentation, and plan of care for the patient.
The importance of coding and clinical documentation is important under the PDGM, as the clinical information and characteristics of the patient should contribute to the classification of the patient. A detailed OASIS review home health can help agencies strengthen accuracy in documentation and identify discrepancies ahead of submission. It also helps by reducing avoidable compliance issues and the risks involved with reimbursement.
Common Errors
Common OASIS Errors That Cost Agencies Revenue
Errors in OASIS can have an impact on payment, clinical accuracy, audit readiness, as well as quality reporting. Some of the most common issues include:

Inconsistency in answers between the plan of care and the OASIS items
Incomplete or missing parts of documentation
Inaccurate cognitive and functional assessments
Improper diagnoses selection and sequencing
Inconsistency between visit notes and assessment findings
