OASIS Correction Tools - Correct
You can correct an OASIS record that needs to be updated. The correct option can be used to submit an updated record to CMS for a previously accepted OASIS. The correct option should be used when a non-key field item needs to be updated or changed. An accepted record can be updated multiple times. The number of corrections in the chain is indicated in the # column of the OASIS table. The original number and corrections count up from 0.
Within the clients chart, click Case Details. Click Oasis and then click Correct.
Click Correct next to the OASIS record to be updated. A new OASIS record is generated in an incomplete status. Within the OASIS table, in the # column, you can see a 01 for the first correction.
Make changes as needed and mark record Reviewed.
Generate the OASIS Export Report for re-submission.
