OASIS NP©: Durable Concept

This Hybrid Training Solution includes a face-to-face component, the seminar, and electronic components, the webinar and flash drives.  This model provides all of the benefits of traditional seminars, plus the economy and flexibility of an online course.

The OASIS NP Regional Training Session isn't a meeting or seminar. Attendees are receiving hands-on training to take back to their agency – a site license with the tools, technology and training they need to ensure clinicians know how to perform a quality assessment.

OASIS NP provides training and testing at the clinician level and competency feedback at the executive level. This seminar is to train-the-trainers on the use and immediate implementation of the OASIS NP product.

All of the sites for the training will be of limited size and are "smart classrooms." Located mostly at colleges and universities, the training will also include four hours of Webinars, where additional training and testing files will be emailed to attendees to keep the training going, and answer any questions that come up. The NAHC-endorsed OASIS NP© is 100 percent locked into CMS-approved data and focuses on CMS rules for OASIS, not exceptions.

It's a total of 16 hours of training, including in-person training, webinars and product "homework" between sessions. If possible, attendees should bring a fully-charged laptop with them to the training.

Those attending the training will leave with a 1GB flash drive that will include everything that is needed to roll out the OASIS NP training throughout the attendee's agency.

What NAHC says about OASIS NP©

Vice President for Law, NAHC

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."
