GNYHA's Center for Continuing Care is hosting a workshop on clinical documentation issues under the new Medicare home health prospective payment system (HH PPS). The workshop is designed to orient field nurses and other clinicians who complete the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) to the changes under the HH PPS, which will go into effect on October 1, 2000. The workshop will provide an overview of the documentation requirements under HH PPS, strategies for accurately assessing patients and completing OASIS, case studies emphasizing the accurate completion of OASIS, and a discussion of the successful management of patients under HH PPS. The session will be offered twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. For more information, call Roxanne Tena-Nelson, and to register, call Jenifer Fergusson, at GNYHA.
