For those of you who were able to attend one of the six OASIS-E training sessions this past November, you were informed that the training presentation would be made available after the accessibility had been added. It took a bit longer than I expected, but I am happy to say that the presentation is now ready for you to use and refer to as you complete the OASIS-E assessment instrument. Just click the above link and you will be taken to Co-Train or you can search for Course ID#1107758.
If you do not have a Co-Train account, click the link and create an account to use for not only this training but any future training.
When Does the Transition to OASIS-E REALLY Happen?

How to Select the Correct Version of OASIS: OASIS-D1 or OASIS-E?
How to Select the Correct Version of OASIS: OASIS-D1 or OASIS-E?
The version of OASIS used will be based on the M0090 – Date Assessment Completed. The M0090 date is the last date that information used to complete the comprehensive assessment and determine OASIS coding was gathered by the assessing clinician and documentation of the specific responses was completed.
CMS wants to make clear that with this transition to OASIS-E, there is no need for the use of artificial M0090 dates. All assessments with a M0090 - Date Assessment Completed on or before December 31, 2022, including the last 5 days of 2022 must be completed with OASIS-D1. This is true even when the first day of the new certification period is on or after January 1, 2023.
All assessments with an M0090 - Date Assessment Completed on or after January 1, 2023, must be completed with OASIS-E.
This is true even when the assessment was initiated in 2022.

The information below was provided by OASIS Answers, Inc., who developed the following table to help agencies, such as yourself, work through the different scenarios:
OASIS-E Effective January 1, 2023
OASIS-E Effective January 1, 2023
Since the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) CY 2022 Home Health Final Rule was posted in the fall of 2021, home health agencies (HHAs) have been aware that the effective date for OASIS-E is January 1st, 2023. But what does this really mean for you as an HHA? How does this impact the patients who were admitted BEFORE January 1st, 2023? How does this impact the patients whose OASIS assessment started in 2022, but was not completed until 2023?
