Axxess OASIS-E is a dedicated feature set integrated into the comprehensive Axxess Home Health cloud-based Electronic Medical Record (EMR) solution, designed specifically to help home health organizations navigate and comply with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) Outcome and Assessment Information Set - E (OASIS-E) requirements.
Product Overview and Key Benefits
This solution is critical for home health agencies as OASIS-E data is the primary source for collecting and reporting quality data to CMS, and it plays a key role in the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) environment, where accurate scoring can impact reimbursement by up to 5%. The software provides built-in clinical intelligence and real-time validations to ensure the accuracy of the complex assessment.
Main Features and Capabilities
- OASIS Scrubber: Audits documentation for inconsistencies, warnings, and potential errors in real-time before submission to CMS, significantly shortening quality assurance times.
- VBP Optimization: Helps clinicians accurately code OASIS-E data elements to maximize VBP reimbursement and improve star ratings.
- Mobile Documentation: Allows field staff to complete the comprehensive assessment on mobile devices (iOS and Android), streamlining the documentation process.
- Standardized Data Collection (SPADEs): Facilitates the uniform collection of standardized patient assessment data elements, such as BIMS and CAM, to align with post-acute care settings.
- Integrated EMR: Seamlessly connects the assessment data with the rest of the patient's electronic medical record, scheduling, and billing workflows.
Target Users and Use Cases
The primary users are home health clinicians (nurses, therapists), quality assurance staff, and administrators within home health agencies. The main use cases are completing CMS-mandated OASIS-E assessments, ensuring regulatory compliance, and optimizing financial outcomes through accurate quality data reporting.
