I loved this article on disease management. I am wondering if your services offer care plans on disease management. Our current care plans are computerized and sorely lacking. I appreciate your service and am hoping you can help me.
Respectfully,

Wondering if you would comment on your wonderful website…(Loved the writing goals video!!!)about determining a policy for what would constitute a “significant change in condition” in order to decide whether or not to complete the OASIS OFU.

Glad you asked. Since the follow-up for a significant change in condition (SCIC) is no longer considered in billing, there are a lot of agencies not doing them anymore. This is a bad thing. The OASIS requirements regarding SCICs have not changed! I just wanted to take this golden opportunity to remind you. The federal regulations regarding OASIS state that the agency must adopt their own definition of a Significant Change and build it into their policy. To make the assessment useful as well as necessary, you may consider including some of the following changes:
New diagnosis
Addition of a new discipline such as therapy (Home Health Aides excluded) for a condition that did not exist at recertification or admission)
Addition of two or more medications requiring teaching
An ER visit that did not result in an inpatient stay
An increase of frequency that lasts longer than two weeks (so you can exclude PRN visits)
You can use any or all of these. The state surveyors used to ask for this but they haven’t lately. That doesn’t mean they won’t in the future. If you write a policy geared towards true changes in conditions, the follow-up assessment will assist in care planning. However, if the policy is too restrictive, all of your nurses will be doing nothing but SCICs all day long.
Also, remember that some OASIS questions on transfer and discharge ask about the period of time since the last OASIS data was collected. If you do a SCIC, keep in mind that this assessment counts. Hope this helps. Call me or email me if it doesn’t.
