Beacon Health, a division of HCPro Inc., continues to deliver on the promise to set a higher standard and advance the art and practice of home healthcare. This new blog dedicated to the OASIS data set will help ensure we keep our promise to you. Here, home health professionals will have access to education, resources, and the support to successfully implement the new OASIS-C.

OASIS-C, which was implemented on January 1, 2010, goes beyond patient assessment and outcomes. Besides collecting outcome data for quality improvement and Home Health Compare, it gathers data about an agency’s use of evidence-based practices (EBP). Agency leaders and clinicians will need to take extraordinary steps to become competent in the use of the revised data set and the implementation of EBP protocols.

This blog’s intent is to provide you with a continuous flow of relevant and timely information that will help you stay abreast of key changes, important updates and best practices. You also have the opportunity to share your thoughts and questions with your peers by posting comments on the blog at any time. We strongly suggest you subscribe to our RSS feed and to the Homecare Insider newsletter to get the latest updates delivered right into your mailbox.
