OASIS:
DON'T FORGET THESE OASIS CHANGES
Published on Mon May 22, 2006
The OASIS regulation that took effect June 21 includes other changes besides eliminating the seven-day lock requirement, the National Association for Home Care & Hospice reminds providers.
The regulation:
• requires OASIS data submission within 30 days of the completion date in M0090;
• adds a new optional field for the NPI;
• issues a warning for a value of "00" in the primary diagnosis severity code item (M0230);
• adds consistency checks for ulcers and
wounds (see Eli's HCW, Vol. XV, No. 21); and
• adds a consistency check between the Medicaid ID item (M0012) and the State ID item in the header record.
