Case Study: Everest Home Health & Hospice improves OASIS accuracy with MedBridge

Everest Home Health & Hospice Partners with MedBridge & Home Care Answers to Improve OASIS Accuracy

Everest Home Health & Hospice, a small agency in Utah, sought to improve the accuracy of its OASIS data collection to meet the demands of value-based payment models. While using Home Care Answers to identify data inaccuracies, the agency lacked the internal resources and structure to effectively train its staff and implement the needed corrections. This challenge threatened both the quality of patient care and the organization's financial performance.

Partnering with MedBridge, the agency implemented a targeted OASIS improvement program for its clinical staff. The solution utilized MedBridge's microlearning content and learning management system to provide focused education on problematic areas. The results were immediate, with recommended corrections for targeted items decreasing by as much as 28%. MedBridge helped the agency achieve an estimated potential for $30,000 in additional annual reimbursement per provider, demonstrating a significant return on investment.
