Staying up to date with OASIS guidance is essential for accuracy, compliance, and maximizing reimbursement under Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP). In this Quarterly OASIS Update, we will break down the latest CMS Q&As, discuss key HHVBP changes, and take a deep dive into two critical OASIS items—M1033 (Risk for Hospitalization) and M1000 (Patient Living Situation).
Through interactive scenarios, we will address common clinician struggles, provide practical strategies to improve accuracy, and explore how these items impact functional scoring, risk adjustment, and quality outcomes. This session is designed to equip home health professionals with the latest insights, tips, and best practices to ensure OASIS accuracy and success in 2025 and beyond.
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Analyze the latest CMS quarterly Q&As and their impact on OASIS accuracy and compliance.
- Understand recent HHVBP changes and how OASIS scoring affects performance-based reimbursement.
- Explain the significance of M1033: Risk for Hospitalization, how it impacts functional scores, and best practices for scoring it correctly.
- Accurately assess M1100: Patient Living Situation, understand its role in risk adjustment, and apply strategies for improved scoring.
- Identify common clinician struggles with these OASIS items and implement tips & tricks to improve accuracy.
- Engage in interactive case scenarios to apply real-world decision-making and enhance OASIS competency.
This engaging and practical session will provide actionable insights to help home health clinicians and leadership teams stay ahead of OASIS changes and drive clinical and financial success.
