# Home health agency software that gets every OASIS assessment out inside 30 days

> OASIS is the assessment set a Medicare certified home health agency completes on each patient and transmits to CMS. Federal rule 42 CFR 484.45 allows 30 days from completing an assessment to encode and transmit it, and the quality reporting programme expects a 90 percent compliance rate whatever the payer. Falling short costs 2 percentage points off the market basket increase. Neurobird tracks every assessment against its own clock.

## What Neurobird Home Health Agency OASIS does

- Track every assessment from start of care through transfer, resumption, recertification and discharge
- Run the 30 day transmission clock per assessment and flag the ones about to breach it
- Show the quality assessment rate as it stands today rather than after the fact
- Hold the recertification window so the last 5 days of every 60 day period are visible to the scheduler

## How it works

1. **Open the episode** Referral, start of care date and the 60 day certification period are set once, and every assessment time point is derived from them rather than typed.
2. **Clock each assessment** Completion date starts the 30 day transmission clock, and the assessment carries its own status until CMS accepts it.
3. **Watch the rate** Quality assessments and non quality assessments are counted the way the programme counts them, so the 90 percent threshold is something you can see rather than something you learn.

## From the source material

> This statute requires that ‘‘each home health agency shall submit to the Secretary such data that the Secretary determines are appropriate for the measurement of health care quality.

## Industry context

- **30 days** The window an agency has to encode and electronically transmit each completed OASIS assessment to the CMS system. (source: 42 CFR 484.45, https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/42/484.45)
- **90 percent** The quality assessments only compliance rate CMS requires of every agency, regardless of payer source, under the pay for reporting requirement. (source: CMS, home health quality reporting requirements, https://www.cms.gov/medicare/quality/home-health/home-health-quality-reporting-requirements)
- **2 percentage points** The reduction applied to the home health market basket percentage increase for an agency that does not meet the reporting requirements. (source: CMS, home health quality reporting requirements, https://www.cms.gov/medicare/quality/home-health/home-health-quality-reporting-requirements)
- **48 hours** The window for the initial assessment visit, counted from referral or from the patient's return home, or the ordered start of care date. (source: 42 CFR 484.55, https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/42/484.55)
- **60 days** The certification period. The comprehensive assessment must be updated in the last 5 days of every 60 days from the start of care date. (source: 42 CFR 484.55, https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/42/484.55)

## Questions

### What is OASIS in home health?

OASIS is the Outcome and Assessment Information Set, the standard assessment a Medicare certified home health agency completes on each patient at start of care, at defined follow up points and at discharge. It drives payment and quality measurement, and 42 CFR 484.45 requires it to be transmitted to CMS within 30 days of completion.

### What happens if we miss the reporting threshold?

An agency that does not meet the quality reporting requirements has its home health market basket percentage increase reduced by 2 percentage points for that payment year. The compliance rate CMS looks for is 90 percent or more of quality assessments.

### Does this replace our EMR?

No. It sits beside it. The EMR holds the clinical record. This holds the assessment as an object with a deadline: when it was completed, when it must be out, who has it now, and whether it landed.

### Does it handle non Medicare patients?

Yes, and it should. From 1 January 2027 OASIS data on non Medicare and non Medicaid patients enters the annual payment update calculation, so counting only Medicare episodes stops being a safe habit.
