Ep 10: Home Health OASIS & Value-Based Purchasing

Home Health OASIS & Value-Based Purchasing

Clarice Grote, MS, OTR/L

The OASIS is part of the initial and comprehensive assessment that you have to complete on all Medicare and Medicaid patients in home health and is a way that CMS is showing their commitment to standardizing the way in which we assess patients in post-acute care across all patients. That’s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am talking all things OASIS and the upcoming home health Value-Based Purchasing program.
