Simplifying OASIS-E: The 15-Minute OASIS Walk
Summary
Clinicians should also use this time to remind patients to have items like medications and discharge papers ready for review during the home visit. Pay special attention to an unkempt yard or grass, newspapers on the driveway and the length of time it takes for the patient to answer the door. While demonstrating the OASIS walk, Ross and Carr shared that clinicians need to develop a collaborative approach to the plan of care and use both therapists and home health aides (HHAs) when necessary. As one of the least expensive assets, HHAs can be the eyes and ears for clinicians, develop home exercise programs and assist in the prevention of falls, Ross said. The key to achieving the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) quality measures organizations desire lies in accurate OASIS scoring.
