Every quarter CMS provides updates to the OASIS manual and the Static Questions and Answers documents. These questions come from providers, consultants, and surveyors. CMS responses are meant to provide additional guidance or interpretation of existing guidance for accurate OASIS collection. With OASIS E being the most expansive change to OASIS in the last 20 years, there will be further clarifications to the guidance. This master class will review the updates to the guidance, pinpointing the changes in the guidance, providing examples and a post-check to ensure compliance and understanding.
1. Contrast new guidance with current guidance.
2. Explain application of new guidance.
