example, case conferences can routinely incorporate OASIS items as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
discussion. Multi-discipline cases with visits by two disciplines on adjacent days can<br />
contribute to discussion <strong>of</strong> specific items. (Note that only one assessment is reported as<br />
the 'OASIS assessment.') Supervisory (or peer) evaluation visits can include OASIS<br />
<strong>data</strong> collection by two clinicians, followed by comparison <strong>of</strong> responses and discussion <strong>of</strong><br />
any differences. Other approaches to <strong>data</strong> quality monitoring are included in the OASIS-<br />
C Guidance Manual, Appendix B available at<br />

Q5. How do I cut and paste the OASIS questions on the website into our HHA's<br />
own assessment?<br />
A5. CMS will post the OASIS <strong>data</strong> <strong>set</strong> in both .PDF format, i.e., read only format, and<br />
Word format on the OASIS Data Sets page at<br />

Q6. Do you have anything available that would help us integrate the OASIS items<br />
into our own assessment?<br />
A6. The most current version <strong>of</strong> OASIS will be found on the CMS OASIS website.<br />
HHAs are required to incorporate the OASIS <strong>data</strong> items exactly as written into the<br />
agency's comprehensive assessment. For agencies using s<strong>of</strong>tware that does not<br />
accommodate bolding or underlining for emphasis <strong>of</strong> words in the same manner as the<br />
current OASIS <strong>data</strong> <strong>set</strong>, capitalizing those words is acceptable. We also recommend<br />
including the M item numbers when integrating to alert clinicians that the M items MUST<br />
be assessed and completed. Ultimately this will minimize delays in encoding due to<br />
uncompleted OASIS <strong>data</strong> items. Please refer to Chapter 4 <strong>of</strong> the OASIS-C Guidance<br />
Manual (available at<br />
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/Home<strong>Health</strong>QualityInits/14_HHQIOASISUserManual.asp#TopO<br />
fPage) for illustrative examples <strong>of</strong> pages from a comprehensive assessment showing an<br />
integration <strong>of</strong> the OASIS <strong>data</strong> items with other agency assessment items for several time<br />
points. The OASIS <strong>data</strong> <strong>set</strong>s are available at<br />

Q7. Is there a separate OASIS admission form that can be used for rehab-only<br />
cases where skilled nursing is not involved?<br />
A7. CMS does not have sample rehab assessment examples, though such<br />
assessments have been developed by commercial vendors. If an agency chooses to<br />
develop its own rehab-specific assessment <strong>forms</strong>, the principles for documenting OASIS<br />
items into an agency's clinical documentation are outlined in Appendix A <strong>of</strong> the OASIS-C<br />
Guidance Manual available at<br />
