OASIS Alert
Test Your OASIS C Savvy ...
Scenario: On Friday you admit Mr.B, a patient with complex needs who is new to your agency. On your second visit on Saturday you compile a list of medications for M2000 (Drug regimen review). Later that day, back in the office, you review the medications and discover a significant medication issue (e.g., side effects that concern the patient). You contact the physician's office to report your concern and an hour later you receive a call back from the physician on call, who is not the patient's physician and is unfamiliar with this patient. The on-call physician decides the issue can safely wait and tells you to contact the patient's regular physician on Monday. How do you answer M2002? M2002 (Medication follow-up) asks: Was the physician or the physician-designee contacted within one calendar day to resolve clinically significant medication issues, including reconciliation? Answer choices are 0-No and 1-Yes. Do you know the answer? Quiz your clinicians before you turn to page 17 for the answer.
