Attention all HBS Billers:

 

For those agencies entering OASIS assessments in HBS, we will be making a change to the method for the grouper calculation. We will begin using the Java-based Grouper supplied by CMS and discontinue the HBS Grouper.

 

To activate the CMS grouper go to:

File > File Maintenance > System Settings

Go to the ‘Data’ tab

Check ‘Use CMS Grouper’

Save and Exit

 

Note: The CMS Grouper requires Java version 6 or higher to run.

 

To test the CMS grouper open an existing or enter a new assessment and validate it. If the assessment validates properly you are set up correctly.

 

This should be done ASAP in preparation for changes to the CMS grouper for 2014.
