OASIS and OASIS C1-ICD9 File Submission Update

As a reminder, submission of OASIS data  to CMS will not be available through the state system from 6:00 PM E.T  December 26, 2014 till 12:00 AM E.T.  January 1, 2015.  As of January 1, 2015 all OASIS files must be submitted to CMS via the national OASIS Assessment Submission and Processing System (ASAP system).  Allegheny Software Publishers, Inc. starting January 2, 2015 will have the capability to create agency OASIS files in the correct format for submission to the ASAP system.  Both OASIS C and OASIS C1- ICD9 will need to be submitted in the xml file format.  The utility screen accessed from the Main Menu screen of HHC 3000 titled, OASIS XML files 2015 will generate the OASIS file in the correct format.  Agencies should not use the Create OASIS files utility after January 1, 2015 to generate OASIS files to submit to CMS.  The State file option will be inactivated.  The Create OASIS files button will be renamed OASIS B1 records and will still allow agencies to create files to submit OASIS data in other formats that may be required by OASIS scrubbers.
