Abstract (2000 characters maximum)
This request is for OMB PRA approval of a version update of the
Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS). The updated version
of the OASIS item set is titled OASIS –E2 OASIS is a core standard
assessment data set that Home Health Agencies (HHAs) integrate into
their own patient-specific, comprehensive assessment to identify
each patient’s need for home care that meets the patient’s medical,
nursing, rehabilitative, social, and discharge planning needs.
Since 1999, the Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoPs) have
mandated that HHAs use the OASIS data set when evaluating adult,
non-maternity patients receiving skilled services. OASIS data are
used for both home health quality measurement and payment
adjustment. OASIS-E2 is scheduled for implementation on April 1,
2026, to comply with changes noted in the CY2025 HH Final Rule. The
changes for OASIS-E2 include the removal of the A1250
Transportation item which will be replaced by the revised A1255
Transportation item align with an item collected in other CMS
programs. Subregulatory changes include CMS adding the B1000
Hearing, B0200 Vision, and A1110 Language items to the resumption
of care (ROC) timepoint.A0810 Sex will replace the M0069 Gender
item. Lastly, CMS will remove the O0350 Patient's COVID-19
vaccination is up to date item.
