OASIS Certificate & Competency Board (OCCB)

Purpose of the OCCB Program
The OASIS Certificate and Competency Board, Inc. (OCCB) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting greater reliability in OASIS data, through consistent application of guidelines provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The OCCB facilitates this goal by offering a voluntary certificate examination available to home care providers interested in demonstrating and establishing their expertise and commitment to OASIS data accuracy.

The Outcome Assessment Information Set (OASIS) is a group of data items designed for the purpose of enabling the rigorous and systematic measurement of patient home health care outcomes, with appropriate adjustment for patient risk factors affecting those outcomes. Outcomes have been defined in many ways, but those derived from OASIS items have a very specific definition: they measure changes in a patient’s health status between two or more time points. The OASIS data submitted by Home Health Agencies (HHA) affects reimbursement rates based upon completion. OASIS scoring also impacts publicly reported outcome indicators used to determine the future of Medicare home health. OASIS items even have utility for care planning, and other internal agency-level applications.
