This request is for OMB approval to modify the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) data set that home health agencies (HHAs) are required to collect in order to participate in the Medicare program. Proposed revisions to the OASIS data set include: 1) issues raised by stakeholders, including removing items that are not currently used by CMS for payment or quality, adding items to address clinical domains not currently covered, and modifying item wording or response categories for selected items; and 2) the addition of process items that support measurement of evidence-based practices for both internal agency quality improvement efforts and public quality reporting purposes. Under Contract Number HHSM 500-2005-00018I T.O.#2, Home Health Quality Measures and Data Analysis, awarded September 2006, Abt Associates and their subcontractors University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and Case Western University assisted CMS with development and testing of the proposed OASIS refinements. Data collection activities were conducted from May to September 2008. HHA clinicians conducted assessments using the entire revised OASIS instrument to assess burden, and pairs of assessors assessed inter-rater reliability. Process items were compared with data in the patient record and with patient OASIS data for verification. Quality Measures utilizing the new items have been submitted to the National Quality Forum for endorsement. Analysis of the data has indicated that the proposed modifications to the data set will have minimal impact on time required to collect and report OASIS.
