Simple but purposeful assessment tools support timely and accurate documentation to help support your goals toward improving and codifying patient outcomes and standardizing clinical processes. Interdisciplinary care plans accurately reflect the patient’s progress towards goals, with trend analysis that lets clinicians review a patient’s health trends—positive or negative—related to selected observations for a specified time frame. Data for the Hospice Item Set (HIS) and the OASIS is gathered during the assessment and care planning processes without additional forms or clinician intervention.
