Oasis switch up

How do I verify that Oasis answers that I have documented are correctly entered into the system by data entry person? Agency no longer keeps the printout verification sheets with the original oasis that the RN's do. This is curious to me especially since higher ups complaining about RN's not documenting pt's "sick enough". Does anyone know of an out source I can use to verify this stuff. I make copies of my originals in case of future legal questions but does my obligation end there? It wouldn't seem fair to hold us responsible for something we have no way of being able to verify, no way to access the system with no password given to us. I, however, want to know.

The OASIS data audits really should be checked Q quarter for what the nurse intends to be checked. That has always been part of the OBQI role for me. The OASIS entry staff can run a report of the original OASIS entry at any time. If they say they cannot do it, they don't know how.

Ask them. They should have a manual for how to run their reports (a ton of them) on how to access that report.

If you are using a point of care system, then there is little to no data-entry. What system are using for billing? You will be able to print out an OASIS report that you can compare to the orginal worksheet.
