    If the patient was in the ER or in observation status then nothing further needs to be done other than the recert.
  • Hi Janet. You must first determine if the 24hr admission was under Observation status, or if it was for planned diagnostics. If so then OASIS is not required

  • Nancy. she would still be a recert. It was day 60 that she came home from
    hospital ?? We are thinking we would have to do a whole new SOC
  • Still a recert unless there are significant changes requiring a major change in your recerted POC.
    You can always do an addendum order to the (recerted) POC for any minor changes associated with the overnight stay.

  • Ok thank you Nancy...she went in with "syncope" ...I don't feel that's any
    major change and like you said we can send an addendum to that effect.
