Blueprint for OASIS Accuracy
OASIS-C1 Data Set
Two FULL day OASIS-C1 Data Collection Rules & Guidance workshop, with optional Certificate for OASIS Specialist-Clinical Exam Administration.
OVERVIEW
Effective, up-to-the-minute education targeted for field data collectors, their supervisors and those preparing for the COS-C Exam.
Experience the comprehensive and nationally acclaimed two-day Blueprint for OASIS Accuracy workshop and learn to confidently teach, audit and collect OASIS-C1 items accurately. Through guided, expert instruction, and participation in problem-solving discussions and application scenarios, achieve mastery of the OASIS items, conventions, and the latest data collection rules.
Rather than provide opinions, assumptions, or unfounded interpretations, the “Blueprint” presenters will model reliance on CMS guidance documents and provide and demonstrate strategies for how to find defendable answers to your OASIS questions.
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.
