OASIS-E2: The New Changes Coming April 1st Are No Joke!

Presented by Cindy Krafft and Anna Zimmerman

Description

OASIS-E2 comes into effect on April 1st, 2026, but the incoming changes are no joke! The new updates carry meaningful implications for assessment accuracy.

This session will focus on the specific item updates and skip pattern changes introduced in OASIS-E2, while also revisiting ongoing challenges presented by certain OASIS items. We will examine the documentation needed to support accurate and defensible responses.

To help tailor the discussion to real-world challenges, attendees are invited to submit questions in advance. Cindy Krafft will prioritize questions addressing regulatory nuances, documentation consistency, and the impact of OASIS on agency performance.

We’re also gathering industry feedback on a potential OASIS assessment designed to help organizations evaluate clinician competency across the OASIS tool. If you want to provide feedback, please take this short survey.
