OASIS questions
Does VisitNote fill in the OASIS by itself?
No. It suggests answers from what was said in the visit, each with its sentence. The clinician confirms every suggestion and answers the required questions that are still open.
Which OASIS answer choices does it use?
The answer choices from the CMS OASIS instrument for each item, shown with the item code.
When are contradictions checked?
Before signing, while the clinician is still with the patient, and again in QA review.
Can the agency require extra OASIS items?
Yes. Required OASIS items are set up with us. They are asked as questions on the phone, and QA can't approve while one is open.
