Proper collection and documentation of OASIS (Outcome and Assessment Information Set) data remains a challenge for most home health agencies. This unique training seminar provided participants with practical knowledge to improve compliance with Medicare guidelines, learn OASIS updates and regulatory changes, document for success, improve comprehension and accuracy in OASIS data collection, improve patient outcomes and maximize reimbursement. With increased regulatory audits and reimbursement cutbacks, the stakes have never been higher for home health agencies.
Participants in the one-day seminar were able to witness the impact on reimbursement of proper and accurate collection of OASIS data from real simulations via a home care software. Different scenarios were reviewed and participants were educated on strategies to maximize reimbursements while improving patient outcomes.
The training team was comprised of industry leading experts on OASIS data, Medicare guidelines and Certified Wound Care Specialists.
At the end of the training seminar, a networking party was held in honor of our attendees. Participants mingled with industry colleagues and experts. There was a raffle draw and winners went home with Laptops, Flat Screen TVs and Apple iPADS.
