OASIS NP©: The Focus is on Home Care

NAHC Joins Forces with the Developers of OASIS NP to Bring Training to Entire Home Health Community

The critical question that must be answered by every home care executive and manager is, "Do you know how competent your clinical staff is at completing the OASIS according to CMS interpretations at this point in time?"

OASIS NP is a computerized, non-perishable training tool for agencies to ensure clinicians are proficient in performing the OASIS assessment. The National Association for Home Care & Hospice has joined forces with the developers of OASIS NP to bring the train-the-trainer training to the entire home health community.

What NAHC says about OASIS NP©
William A. Dombi, Esquire,
Vice President for Law, NAHC
 Mary St. Pierre, RN, BSN, MGA,
Vice President for Regulatory Affairs, NAHC

"This is an important product for home health agencies," said William A. Dombi, Vice President of Law at NAHC. "With the changes starting in January 2008 of both OASIS and PPS (Home Health Prospective Payment Systems), it will be imperative for agencies to have quality OASIS data."

"Quality OASIS data starts with clinicians being properly trained to make skilled assessments," said Mary St. Pierre, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs at NAHC. One reason NAHC decided to partner with OASIS NP developers Melanie R. Duerr, RN, MS, ANP, Vice President of Certified Services, VNA of Hudson Valley in Tarrytown, NY and Kathleen R. O'Donnell, BS, CPA, Professor, Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, NY, "is because the interactive teaching hybrid can be recycled to incorporate CMS updates seamlessly in an ever-changing environment and because of Duerr and O'Donnell's commitment to helping home health agencies reach their goals of providing excellent care to patients."
