Oasis Confusion

I have been doing home care for a long time..... I would complete a Tranfer to Inpatient............. he was technically admitted to CCU and listed as an inpatient.

Im sure that NrsKaren, Hoolahan, and Renerian can answer this too.........they are a wealth of knowledge

I have been a case manager in Home health for about 5 years..If the pt had not died then you wouldn't have to do a transfer unless he was an inpatient for more than 23 hours. So, I would say do a discharge oasis due to death...hope this helps..

I have a question about a patient in regards to MO 680 toileting. If you have a patient who wears diapers due to occasional bowel incontinence related to diarrhea, (because she is unable to make it to the toilet on time) but who is physically able to be assisted on and off the toilet and is able to tell when she has to use the restroom, would you classify the patient as answer 1 or answer 4 on this (MO680). I am having a battle of "wits" :rotfl: with a therapist, who thinks that because a patient is occasionally incontinent, that renders her completely dependent, even though her family can transfer her to the toilet. Thanks!

If they can tell the cg when they need to go the bathroom, Then they should be classified as #1....you're on the winning side of this "battle of the wits".

I was instructed to do a transfer to inpatient facility then a d/c d/t death when this very thing happened to one of our patients.
