Standardized assessment that US Medicare-certified home health agencies must complete for most adult skilled-care patients at start of care, resumption of care, recertification, transfer and discharge. Data drive payment, quality measures and public star ratings.
Example: Completed OASIS at SOC; M1800 grooming scored 2.
Usage notes
Item numbers such as M1800 identify each question. The data feed Home Health Compare (now Care Compare). Recertification assessments occur in the last five days of each 60-day episode. Accuracy is audited because scoring affects reimbursement.
