Outcome-Based Quality Improvement (OBQI) Implementation Manual This is a 10-chapter manual that describes the OASIS-based reports that are available through the state OASIS system. This manual is written for HHA staff who wish to learn how to read and interpret the OBQI reports, and who wish to implement the outcome enhancement activities of OBQI in response to the outcome reports. The Appendix A describes in detail the components of the OBQI reports and provides definitions of key terms that are essential to understanding and using the reports. Additions to the OBQI Manual: Appendix C is available in a crosswalk format that indicates which OASIS items are used for each specific outcome measure included in the OBQI reports. The Table of Contents file is also updated to include the new appendix. 2. Accessing OBQI & OBQM Reports - Using the CASPER Reporting System This document provides information to obtain Case Mix reports, Adverse Event Reports, Patient Risk-adjusted Outcome Reports, and patient tally reports for case mix and outcomes measures from the OASIS state system that home health agencies already use to submit OASIS data. It describes how to request a report, how to view a report online, and how to save and print a report. 3. Supplement to the OBQI manual This document is a supplement to the OBQI manual listed above in 1. This supplement covers the 3-bar outcome reports and 3-column case mix reports. The PDF file contains a brief narrative followed by an appendix with illustrative reports and a second appendix with the "how-to read" guidelines. It is recommended that home health agencies download this Supplement and add it to their existing OBQI Manual. The guidelines in Appendix B Basic Information Regarding the Outcome and Case Mix Reports should be shared with individuals who review your reports.
