OASIS-D and D1: The Significance of PDGM, Agency Outcomes, and the IMPACT Act
On-demand webinar available until December 31, 2019
OASIS-D1 begins January 1, 2020. These revisions, while few, fall on the heels of OASIS-D, just one year prior.
Providing a review of all significant OASIS-D1 changes, this session will specifically focus on M1800/M1033 items that are of prime importance under PDGM. It will also dig into GG and J items. Participants will understand the rationale for changes between OASIS-D and D1, including items added by the IMPACT Act.
Of special focus will be items that assume major significance under PDGM: grooming (M1800), dressing (M1810 and M1820), bathing (M1830), toilet transferring (M1840), transferring (M1850), ambulation/locomotion (M1860), and hospitalization risk (M1033).
This session will also focus on the importance of interdisciplinary team efforts to create consistencies that improve patient and financial outcomes, ensuring that clinicians are answering the OASIS items in the same manner.
