I also agree but could see how they would be confused by the “other” option. It would make sense that a person admitted to the hospital under observation status should still qualify for a transfer OASIS as they are under the care of a physician, yet it doesn’t.

I agree with Paula. The OASIS M1000 manual guidance and item-specific instructions do not include jail/incarceration as an inpatient facility type. I would consider the patient under the care of law enforcement/court system. Jennifer Stark,

Hello, I recommend reviewing the guidance for M1000: Inpatient Facilities. You will find how each of these is defined. Jail would not be considered inpatient.

Hey everyone,

I got a great question this morning and would love to have your thoughts on it:

We had a question come up about inpatient stays and what would qualify as so. We have had a couple clients go to jail for a few days/weeks at a time, also have a client in our local "crisis stabilization unit." These places do not have doctors on staff, and the client is not actually "admitted." They are essentially just staying somewhere. We are VERY confused about these situations because it feels like we should complete an OASIS transfer, but it also feels like we should not since they are not technically inpatient with doctors to give us orders...do you have some guidance on what a qualifying inpatient stay that requires a transfer actually is?
