As home health nurses, we know the OASIS isn’t just another form — it’s the foundation of patient care quality, compliance, and reimbursement.
But when it comes to OASIS discharges, even experienced RNs can struggle with accuracy, time management, and capturing the true picture of patient readiness.

That’s exactly why I wrote my new guide,
📘 The RN’s Guide to OASIS Discharges: Accuracy, Compliance, and Patient Readiness.

This book is designed to simplify what can feel like one of the most tedious and stressful parts of home health nursing — the discharge process — and turn it into a confident, streamlined routine that protects both you and your agency.

💡 What Makes the OASIS Discharge So Critical

When a patient is discharged from home health, your OASIS D assessment becomes the official summary of their entire episode of care.
That single document affects:

• Agency reimbursement and audit outcomes
• Star ratings and quality measures
• Future eligibility for services
• Your clinical credibility and compliance standing

Yet it’s also one of the most overlooked training areas in home health orientation. Most nurses learn discharges through trial and error — and that’s where small mistakes can become big compliance risks.

🧭 Common RN Struggles With OASIS Discharges

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone:

• Wondering how detailed your functional assessments need to be
• Struggling to differentiate between improvement vs. baseline return
• Forgetting to update the plan of care before the final visit
• Rushing documentation after multiple recerts or complex wounds
• Feeling uncertain about when the patient is truly “ready” for discharge

My book walks you through every one of these challenges step-by-step — with examples, checklists, and real-world notes written from the field.
