What type of patients is OASIS-E intended for?

OASIS-E is specifically designed for individuals receiving home health care services. This assessment tool is used to collect data on a patient’s health status, functional abilities, and care needs to ensure they receive appropriate and effective home health interventions.

By focusing on the unique aspects of home health care, OASIS-E facilitates the comprehensive evaluation of patients in their home environments, which is crucial for planning care and assessing outcomes. It captures various dimensions of a patient's well-being and functional status that are essential for home health agencies to create tailored care plans and monitor quality of care over time.

The other options refer to different healthcare contexts that require distinct assessment tools suited to their specific care settings and patient needs. For example, psychiatric evaluations would necessitate different instruments focused on mental health, while rehabilitation and long-term care facilities have their own standards and measures tailored to inpatient care and longer-term rehabilitation processes, which differ significantly from home health settings.
