OASIS Import

OASIS Import provides the ability to import CMS OASIS Final Validation Report CSV files from iQIES or to import OASIS assessments that have been entered through other vendors (ex. HQS).  

To switch between the Validation Import and OASIS Import functions, use the  and  toggle buttons in the lower right corner of the window.

Click on Clinical > OASIS Import.

Importing the CMS OASIS Final Validation Report csv files:


File Location: Browse and select the OASIS Final Validation csv file previously downloaded from the iQIES website. 

Include 'Locked Awaiting Export', state Correct Count = 0 in Processing: Select this option to include records that do not have an increment count and the assessment is in Locked status (not Exported). Rarely used.

Warn me __days prior to Late Acceptance: Enter number of days our from today to be used for acceptance date tracking in the Billing Pre-Audit Oasis Not Accepted Summary.

Retroactive Days to Check for Expired Visits: Enter the number of days to go back and identify non-accepted assessments in the Billing Pre-Audit Oasis Not Accepted Summary.

Click 'Preview' and then select 'Yes' at the prompt.

Once the report has been Previewed/Printed, the 'Post' button is enabled.

The report will list each assessment record with one of the following statuses:

Accepted: The OASIS status will change from "Exported' to "Accepted by CMS" once posted.

Rejected: The reason for rejection will be included on the report and the status will change from 'Exported' to "Rejected by CMS".

Not Found: This status indicates the OASIS record is not present in the myUnity Essentials database.

Status Invalid: This status indicates the OASIS record is in Locked instead of Exported/Accepted/Rejected Status and therefore the validation record being returned may be for a record that has since been edited.
