Abstract:
This collection 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 were previously made to the OASIS forms to allow for the preservation of masking of personally identifiable information for the non-Medicare/non-Medicaid individuals.

Short Statement:
The burden associated with these proposed changes includes possible training of staff, the time and effort associated with downloading a new form and replacing previously pre-printed versions of the OASIS, and utilizing updated vendor software. However, CMS will be removing or modifying existing questions in the OASIS data set to accommodate the requirements referenced above. In addition, as a result of the proposed changes of CMS-1541-P, we expect that the claims processing system is expected to automatically adjust the therapy visits, upward and downward on the final claim, according to the information on the final claim. Consequently, the HHA will no longer have to withdraw and resubmit a revised claim when the number of therapy visits delivered to the patient is higher than the level report on the RAP. Therefore, CMS believes the burden increase associated with these changes is negated by the removal or modification of several current data items. The overall burden to OASIS was decreased by 28% in the OASIS data set. The burden has increased since the last submission due to an increase in the number of respondents.
