Book Description
This text makes a complex subject easier to understand! The imminent enactment of new COP's will bring about extensive changes for Medicare-certified home health agencies. New requirements will compel agencies to collect data and determine outcomes of care using OASIS and to develop entire OBQI programs around that data. Complex and multi-faceted, the new data system requires total reorganization that will impact computerization, documentation forms, staff and management roles and functions, and a complete restructuring of quality improvement programs. This informative new text -- based on the original research project -- will help to ensure the reliable and valid collection of information during patient assessments. Clear, concise and well-organized, the text presents the rationale and background of OASIS and OBQI and offers cogent guidelines on implementation and analysis of results.
