OASIS-E Review Assistant.
An app idea for home health agencies.
An AI tool that reviews OASIS-E assessments before submission and flags the documentation mismatches that cause survey deficiencies and denials.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Home health agency owners and clinical managers, with the clinical manager as daily user
- The problem
- Clinicians spend far more time on OASIS than they are paid for, and they say so plainly. Managers get hit later when OASIS answers do not match the visit notes and the agency faces a deficiency or a denied claim.
- The gap
- Existing OASIS products are documentation and workflow systems that capture the assessment. They do not sit on top of a finished assessment and check it against the clinical notes for the specific mismatches that trigger deficiencies and denials.
- Already out there

- The big assumption
- That agencies will pay for a review layer on top of the OASIS software they already own, rather than expecting their existing vendor to add it.
- Test it this week
- Ask five agency owners and clinical managers you already know to send three de-identified past assessments that were denied or cited, then hand-check them yourself and show what you caught.
