Home Therapy OASIS Assessment Forms

by H. Krulish, MHS, PT

HCFA required that Home Health Agencies incorporate OASIS data into

documentation for all disciplines. The integration of this data needs to

be done in a manner that creates a logical and clinically appropriate

information flow for the assessment. It should also facilitate efficient

data entry.

Although HCFA has provided sample clinical records that incorporate the

OASIS data set in the OASIS User's Manual, these are sample forms of

nursing assessments and ARE NOT discipline specific for rehabilitation

therapists.

Home Therapy OASIS Assessment Forms provide a system for Physical

Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech-Language Pathology clinical

records that adequately incorporate the OASIS data set for all the

required data collection time points.
