Letter looks great! Only thing I can think of to add is with the changes to OASIS E – agencies are already looking at an increased burden and reduction in staff efficiency with OASIS due to the changes. Does anyone have Medicare’s metric for how long on average they anticipate OASIS E adding to visits?

I added a lot of mark ups, but if it’s hard to read, just accept all the changes and it should be easier to read.

 

Of course, these are only suggested changes. I would love to see what others think.

 

Thank you Brianna for working so hard on this letter!!

Hi all,

 

I have attached our draft of the proposed rule comment letter. We still need to format it but I would love feedback on the content and if there is anything missing?

 

Also- NAHC has put out their survey (very similar to the one our group did so if you did that, this will be easy), so if you have a few minutes, could you please complete it? They will use it to assist with advocacy efforts for their legislation to pause the payment cuts. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSckC7tDehC5RbQ-bSapuk3TISRFIPLfG41JWXl1Ha6xHisjkA/viewform?usp=send_form

 

 

Thank you!!
