The OASIS-C Fundamentals Library provides a detailed look into every item on the new form. Clinical supervisors and clinicians will benefit from this extensive OASIS-C training created by OASIS experts Ann Rambusch and Judy Adams. This library contains nine courses designed to walk you through the entire OASIS-C document and provide official guidance on how to answer each item. Learn through interactive questions and answers. Each course teaches the intricacies of OASIS-C using patient scenarios to test your staff’s OASIS-C competency.
At the end of the course is a 50-question post-test to ensure your clinicians have worked through the courses and have a clear understanding of how to answer the OASIS-C items using official CMS guidance.
OASIS-C accuracy will have a positive impact on your outcomes, result in more accurate case-mix scores and guarantee that your agency receives the payment it deserves for the level of care it is providing.
Learn at your own pace with 24/7 access on the web. Each lesson takes about 15 minutes, so you can learn at a time that works best for you.

Learn what has changed and gain an understanding of the wound items using realistic examples of pressure ulcers, stasis ulcers and surgical wounds (M1300-M1350). Discover how to apply CMS’s and the Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses (WOCN) Society’s wound guidance and definitions to answer the OASIS-C skin items accurately.
OASIS-C Respiratory, Cardiac, Elimination & Neuro Status (M1400-M1750) – Learn how to master the OASIS-C items found in the respiratory, cardiac, elimination and neuro sections (M1400 - M1750).
OASIS-C Respiratory Functional Assessment: ADLs/IADLs, Therapy Need (M1800-M1910, M2100-M2200) –Understand the OASIS-C ADL/IADL items (M1800 - M1900) and the items that assess patients’ assistance sources and therapy need (M2100 - M2200). Also learn how to accurately answer the new fall-risk process measure (M1910), including what is considered a “validated component” of a fall-risk tool.
OASIS-C Medications (M2000-M2040) – Learn how to accurately answer the new OASIS-C medication items (M2000 – M2040), and how to ensure that you meet the “one calendar day” physician requirement.
OASIS-C Plan of Care & Intervention Synopsis (M2250, M2400) – This course teaches how to accurately answer M2250 & M2400, when to answer “yes” and examples of when it’s appropriate to answer “no” to these items. You’ll also get a description of the pitfalls and challenges of M2250 and M2400 and how to avoid them, plus the definition of “physician-ordered plan of care” and what it means for your clinicians and agency processes.

The OASIS-C Case Mix Online Training Library will help you:
OASIS-C Introduction & Overview – This course will familiarize clinicians with the OASIS-C document and identify major changes, including deletions, revisions and additions, and help them understand the rationale behind the changes. Learn to identify process measures and the timing of the process measures as they relate to medication review, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot care and depression.
OASIS-C Diagnosis Coding – Clinicians will master the nuances of the OASIS-C diagnosis items: M1020, M1022 and M1024. The instructions on how to list each diagnosis have been expanded so that they are in line with the instructions provided in CMS’s Appendix D.
OASIS-C Clinical Case Mix – This course is designed to help clinicians master the nuances of the OASIS-C clinical case-mix items and learn about projecting therapy need (M2200).
OASIS-C Functional Case Mix – This course provides an overview of the OASIS-C functional items and their impact on case mix. After completing this course, clinicians will be able to apply CMS guidance to the functional items in patient scenarios that pose the greatest challenges to home health clinicians.
OASIS-C Wound Case Mix – This self-paced course will define and identify criteria and strategies for accurately answering the wound case-mix item questions, M1308, M1324, M1334 and M1342.
