January’s OASIS-E quarterly Q&As only included two responses from CMS.

At the top, CMS stresses that changes planned in 2025, with the introduction of the OASIS-E1 instrument, do not apply to 2024 OASIS assessments.

Data collection using the OASIS-E1 version of the instrument will begin with OASIS assessments with a M0090 date on or after January 1, 2025.

Until these items are removed from OASIS, providers should continue to complete them following the item specific guidance found in the OASIS-E Guidance Manual - Updated January 1, 2024.
