Summary

Visiting Nurse Association Health Group(VNAHG) boosted efficiency by adopting Element5's automation for OASIS to iQIES workflows, cutting down on time-consuming manual tasks. Since go-live, daily OASIS submissions, faster validation reviews, and automated corrections have markedly improved operations, fostering a positive ongoing partnership with Element5.

• The frequency of manual submissions varied, occurring once or twice per week depending on the number of OASIS records.
• Initial skepticism about automation's impact on critical OASIS records and potential disruptions to established processes.
