Hello Dee and Cindy,
​
I wanted to send the two of you a quick email regarding the courses I have taken through PhysicalTherapy.com. First, and foremost, I am so beyond pleased with your presentation style and expert content in ‘Making OASIS relevant to Therapy’, ‘OASIS C2’ and ‘Defensible Documentation’. Both of you are truly experts in the home health therapy field! I have been in home health for over 10 years with much of it dedicated to therapy documentation since the 2011 Final Rules. I am frequently called crazy for being so passionate about therapy documentation and SOC accuracy. So, it has been a blessing finding the two you through PhysicalTherapy.com. I have enjoyed your dynamic personalities and your very well presented courses. Thank you for your dedication the therapy side of home health. It is very nice to learn from your therapy experience in home health and extensive involvement with therapy audits. I wish you two were located near California because I would love the opportunity to meet you!

​Dee and Cindy,

​Sometimes I think we talk about the Oasis to the point that clinicians tune out, mentally preparing their next visit or planning the tasks
for the day.
Enjoy the presentation that you take to share the frustrations while also sharing the extra moment of consideration is worthwhile.
Thank you.  We are making this one "Re-Set" Mandatory In-service at our office.

Congratulations! This is great! Your trainings were the first trainings that were PIVOTAL in helping me to gain/beef up/keep up my skillset as a home health OT. Your humor AND expertise are a rare find in healthcare (and are therefore soooooo refreshing). Thanks for helping us clinicians who are still in the field stay sharp and practice to the TOP of our license in a very complex field that needs quality practitioners now more than ever.

SOC to RAP in 5 Days – Process Optimization (3-Part Series)

$349.00

Session 1 (FREE) - Intro - Can an OASIS Review be Done in 5 days? (see link and handouts attached)

Description:

·      The ability to get a “clean” OASIS out the door in a timely manner has been an ongoing challenge to the home health industry. The resources consumed by the QA process can be a financial strain on the organization which has become even more of an issue in the PDGM environment. Focusing almost exclusively on the QA process in order to speed up the process will produce limited results and may actually drive up costs. This series of webinars will address the three pillars that impact achievement of a “clean” OASIS:

o  Information collection by Intake

o  Data Collection by Clinicians

o  Accountability of Clinicians and QA

Objectives:

·      Articulate the relationship between OASIS accuracy and timely billing

·      Discuss the common pitfalls that slow down QA

·      Identify the three pillars the impact the OASIS review process

Session 1 - OASIS Review: Getting the Right Information at the time of Intake

Description:

·      The information collected prior to the first home care visit has evolved well past the days of just getting a name and an address. The referral process has implications related to Face to Face compliance, Review Choice expectations and the ability to code accurately. Incomplete information related to coding will delay the ability to finish an OASIS regardless of the accuracy of the clinician data collection or the speed of QA review. This session will focus on the elements that must be present as part of the referral to ensure the coding is done accurately and timely.

Objectives:

• Define the elements of ICD-10 Coding that are impacted by intake functions.
• Articulate what will qualify as a “confirmed diagnosis”.
• Outline key pieces of documentation that should be collected by Intake staff.

Session 2 - OASIS Review: Accuracy of Clinician Data Collection

Description:

·      There is a grace period for clinicians that are new to home care as they learn to complete an OASIS. As time passes and patterns of errors emerge, a point is reached where the amount of rework created by QA review and the need for the clinician to make corrections becomes a costly (and frustrating) burden. As opposed to an entry level OASIS education, this session will focus on the most commonly seeing OASIS errors and provide candid explanations regarding the need to “get it right the first time”.

Objectives:

·      Identify three of the most commonly seen OASIS errors

·      Connect fall risk and the accurate completion of OASIS functional items

·      Analyze the key components of the cognitive behavioral related OASIS items

Session 3 - OASIS Review: Accountability of and to the QA Process

Description:

·      Review of a completed OASIS document was never intended to be as “time and dime” consuming as it has become in home health. The intersection of a cumbersome and inconsistent review process and clinicians not responsive to education or making corrections timely can become a black hole that delays getting the RAP out the door. The best education in the world will not get agencies where they need to be UNLESS the issue of accountability for everyone involved is addressed. This session will provide a framework for creating a climate of accountability specific the management of OASIS data.

Objectives:

·      Discuss where breakdowns occur in the interaction between clinicians and QA staff

·      Outline key areas of clinician accountability to OASIS accuracy

·      Identify the elements of QA accountability in a consistent review process

Increased survey activities are being reported in home health agencies to assess infection control and emergency management procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Early in operational transitions to the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) that took effect January 1, 2020, home health organizations are now tackling the expectations that COVID-19 pandemic has presented the healthcare continuum, including heightened patient care demands, clinician safety and personal protective equipment (PPE) access, and financial sustainability. During this period of pandemic, the importance of effective and efficient infection control and prevention measures is critical. To ensure that agencies are maintaining compliance with Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) expectations for infection control, multiple state surveying activities have begun to occur.
