Objectives Understand that OASIS D changes are based on the IMPACT Act s mandate to support interoperability between the post-acute providers electronic health records. Specifically, the assessment data and quality measure data. Understand the importance of clinicians adjusting their workflow to achieve effective productivity (good time management) Discuss the new items at Start of Care / Resumption of Care and identify the items with revised skip patterns, items that were revised and items that were removed. Know that OASIS D will implement on January 1, 2019 and will replace the current version OASIS C2. Know that a response date of January 1, 2019 or later for item M0090 Date Assessment Completed will require the use of OASIS-D. 2
Why OASIS-D? 1. CMS is aligning quality measurement across post-acute care (PAC) assessment instruments to meet the provisions of the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation (IMPACT) Act of 2014. 2. The move toward standardized assessment data items facilitates cross-setting uses for: 1. Data/information collection 2. Quality measurement 3. Outcome comparison 4. Interoperable data exchange 3. Standardized (uniform) data items are nested within the assessment instruments currently required for submission from the LTCH, IRF, SNF, and HHA providers. 4. Development and reporting of measures pertaining to resource use, hospitalization, and discharge to the community. 5. Development and implementation of quality measures from five quality measure domains using standardized assessment data. 6. Enable interoperability and accessibility to longitudinal information for providers to facilitate coordinated care, improved outcomes, and overall quality comparisons.
Long Term Care MDS COMPARED to OASIS-D 4
Data Element Standardization = Interoperability Section GG will be added to OASIS for standardization and alignment with other PAC settings, including: Inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) Long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) Standardized Patient Assessment Data Elements (SPADEs) 11/8/2018 5

Refresher - Usual Performance and Assessment Timeframe Understand the time period under consideration for each item. Report what is true on the day of assessment unless a different time period has been indicated in the item or related guidance. Day of assessment is defined as the 24 hours immediately preceding the home visit and the time spent by the clinician in the home. (1) SOC - The comprehensive assessment must be completed in a timely manner, consistent with the patient s immediate needs, but no later than 5 calendar days after the start of care. (2) ROC - 2 days of facility discharge date or knowledge of patient s return home; or on physician ordered resumption date (Effective 1/13/18)
Briggs Tip This information can be found in the OASIS Guidance Manual Chapter 3 Section GG Functional Abilities and Goals. Usual performance, ability is his/her ability greater than 50% of the assessment timeframe. This item gives you a snapshot of their prior ability 11/8/2018 21

Licensed clinicians may assess performance based on the direct observation (preferred), interviewing patient / family and/or caregivers and through collaboration with other clinicians. Use a multidisciplinary approach when possible. The functional status is a report of the patient s baseline functional assessment. It should be provided prior to any therapy services, because therapy intervention(s) can change the accuracy of the baseline. Code for usual performance (What is true >50% of the time, not best/worst performance) NOTE: The patient is being discharged from the agency back into the community, not to an impatient facility. 11/8/2018 26
Discharge Coding and the Individualized Plan of Care Licensed clinicians can establish a patient s discharge goal(s) at the time of SOC/ROC based on: Patient s prior medical condition SOC/ROC performance assessment Self-care and mobility status Discussions with the patient/family Professional judgement Profession s practice standards Expected treatments Patient motivation to improve Anticipated length of stay The discharge plan 27
Summary Tips for GG0130 and GG0170 The assessment should be provided prior to the start of therapy services, because therapy interventions can change the accuracy of the baseline status. Use the same 6-point scale for coding when an activity was attempted. When an activity is not attempted use the same codes 7, 9, 10 or 88 depending upon the circumstance. A dash is permissible for any remaining mobility goals not coded. You have the full Assessment timeframe to complete the coding, which again means you might consider the multidiscipline approach. Just remember that the one clinician convention states the collaborating healthcare providers must have had direct contact with the patient and in this case it would have had to have happened within the assessment timeframe. You should always allow the patient to perform the activities as independently as possible, with or without a device, as long as they appear to be safe. The coding is based on the patient usual performance (what is true > than 50% of the time). Take into consideration that the patient s ability can be impacted by the environment or situations encountered in the home. A discharge code can be the same, higher or lower than the SOC/ROC performance code. If an activity is not attempted at SOC/ROC it doesn t mean you can t coded for discharge planning purposes using the 6-point scale. When coding for the discharge goals try to show in your documentation that you are thinking about the CoPs by including the patient and all stake holders input in the development of the plan of care. 11/8/2018 28
M2250 was removed from the OASIS-D data set. M2401 is still on the transfer-care summary and the discharge from agency- not to an inpatient facility. It s the same stuff! 29
