Blueprint for OASIS Accuracy: This 2-day, 13 hour workshop is highly focused on the OASIS-C data collection rules. These rules continue to evolve, and "Blueprint" keeps you up to date, always providing the key source resources and source documents which you can rely upon after the workshop. Empowering staff with defendable OASIS scoring practices provides your agency with the winning outcomes and proper reimbursement you deserve to provide quality care. All sessions are presented by two expert instructors who have earned the Certificate for OASIS Specialist – Clinical (COS-C) designation. The Blueprint for OASIS Accuracy program serves as the premier review workshop for the COS-C exam, and is offered exclusively through OASIS Answers, Inc. – the industry leader in OASIS Education.

 

This 2-day 13 contact hour workshop is designed:

 

·         To support the educational needs of home health clinicians in achieving comprehension and accuracy in OASIS data collection using guidelines established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

·         To provide a preparatory review for candidates for the COS-C (Certificate for OASIS Specialist - Clinical) examination.

·         To supply you with the knowledge and tools necessary to boost your confidence and improve your foundation of data precision.
