Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS)

The Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) is a detailed data collection tool used by home healthcare agencies to evaluate and record a patient's health status, care needs, and progress. It helps healthcare providers plan personalized treatments, monitor improvements or issues, and ensure quality care. OASIS information also assists government agencies in measuring program performance and determining funding. Essentially, it's a structured way to gather important health information about patients receiving home care, ensuring they get appropriate, effective, and coordinated services.
