This regulation requires HHAs to use a
standard core assessment data set, the OASIS, to collect
information and to evaluate adult non-maternity patients. In
addition, data from the OASIS will be used for purposes of case mix
adjusting patients under home health PPS and will facilitate the
production of necessary case mix information at relevant time
points in the patient's home health stay. Modifications have been
made to currently approved OASIS forms to allow for the
preservation of masking of personally identifiable information for
the non-Medicare/ non-Medicaid individuals.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
