Calculations based on an average loss of $344 per mistake, per patient and a 7.6% reduction in productivity from 2009 to 2010, according to a recent OASIS-C & Outcomes Solutions survey.

Other “hidden costs” of OASIS-C

This calculator does not take into account hidden costs to a reduction in productivity, such as:

  • Recruiting and training of new staff costs about $7000 to $10,000 per hire
  • Overtime and contractor costs need to be taken into account until new staff can be hired
  • You may need to turn away patients, and therefore revenue

You’ll need to factor these in, as well, to get the true cost of inaccuracy and inefficiency to your agency.

Stop the bleeding
from OASIS-C

Most agencies now feel the financial strain of OASIS-C. It’s taking longer to fill out assessments, meaning 7.6% less time with patients, on average. That means either less reimbursable care or hiring to fill the gap. Plus, accuracy on OASIS forms is down, costing agencies an average of $344 per mistake. (See calculator, left.)
