Workshop Summary
This is Training You Can’t Afford to Miss!
The Home Care Association of Colorado and Fazzi Associates
are happy to bring you two days of the most intensive OASIS C training
available. This training is designed specifically to help you start
and
succeed with OASIS C. As an attendee, you’ll receive all the "must know"
information on the most important changes to the current assessment –
and how to respond to each of these changes. This includes best
practice strategies for responding to process of care measures,
conventions for completing the most important revised assessment items,
and a review of screening questions that will have a dramatic impact on
clinical practices. As a participant, you will walk away with current,
relevant information and be able to select responses to OASIS data items
that accurately describe the patient’s health status and provider care
practices in accordance with Medicare regulation, CMS guidance documents
and other applicable industry standards after conducting a patient multi-system assessment.
Educational Objectives
After
attending these sessions, the attendee will be able to:
-
Discuss the clinical, quality and fiscal significance
of the new OASIS data items.
-
Learn effective tools for responding to the OASIS-C
process-measures such as depression screening and pressure ulcers.
-
Identify the essential components of multi-system and
functional activity assessments and reporting requirements.
-
Get best practice strategies for answering the
OASIS-C clinical, functional and wound items.
**Please
note: This workshop will not be recorded and, therefore, no tape or
CD will be available for purchase.**

OASIS
Skills Assessment Computer Based Testing
Fazzi's OASIS Skills
Assessment Testing is a revolutionary new tool designed to
assess clinicians' OASIS skill levels on an individual and
agency wide level. Developed by a panel of OASIS specialists who
have over 50 cumulative years working with OASIS, each
quarterly test covers a wide range of critical OASIS
assessment items. As an annual subscriber, your agency will
receive:
- Quarterly online OASIS
testing for each registered clinician.
- A one page summary report
after each testing period outlining the score by discipline
as well as the option to select two customized reporting
categories (e.g. team, location).
- A detailed report
displaying results by individual clinician including a
breakdown by question.
- Immediate scoring e-mailed
to the testing clinician and the agency manager after
completion of each test.
- Benchmarking externally
against other agencies nationwide as well as internally to
show improvements made and areas needing improvement.

Certificate for OASIS Specialist-Clinical (COS-C)
Computer Based Testing
The OASIS Certificate and Competency
Board, Inc. (OCCB) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting
greater reliability in OASIS data, through consistent application of
guidelines provided by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS). To achieve this goal, the OCCB offers a voluntary certificate
examination which home care providers may take in order to demonstrate
and establish their expertise and commitment to OASIS data accuracy.
This exam is currently the only nationally standardized measure of OASIS
accuracy.
Computer based testing is an alternative to the many
live, proctored paper and pencil exam administrations currently
scheduled. Interested candidates may now choose to take the COS-C exam
at one of hundreds of proctored computer-based testing locations
nationwide, at a time convenient to your
schedule.
Candidates who successfully complete the examination will be awarded the
Certificate for OASIS Specialist – Clinical (COS-C) designation by the
OCCB.
**Please note that registration for the exam is NOT included in
registration for the "Foundations for OASIS Competency"
workshop.**
