Learn the specific OASIS items and guidance that are new, including Section GG (functional abilities and goals) and 4 new items (GG0100 prior functioning, GG0110 prior devise use, GG0130 self care, and GG0170 mobility, Section J (health conditions) including J1800 and J1900 (falls).

Correctly apply OASIS conventions to item-specific scenarios, while also learning how to apply OASIS-specific definitions for terms such as intractable pain, active treatment, care episode, same day, minimal assistance, and more.
Master the complicated wound items, including how to report pressure ulcers, stasis ulcers, surgical wounds and trauma wounds, and how to report their healing status.
Ensure accuracy in the reporting of neuro/emotional/behavioral items (M1700 - M1745) to ensure appropriate POC development and risk adjustment of outcomes.
Work through the ADL items (M1800 - M1860) to ensure you're accurately reporting the patient's functional status, or you risk case-mix points and inaccurate outcome scores.
Walk away with best practices to ensure your documentation matches the OASIS, which matches the plan of care.
