In system overrides in the Misc. tab there is now an option that an OASIS assessment must be locked before it can be checked to send to the state (doesn’t apply to ORYX).  Currently, if not checked the assessment is marked as locked when it is sent to the state if not previously locked.  If the new system override is checked, you cannot check the HCFA box for state submission under the Create OASIS Files option.  In the Create OASIS Files option screen we a displaying the lock date which will be useful to users who wish to use this feature.

In version 4507 we have added a few additional OASIS error checks.   If M1050 is answered as ‘0-No‘ then is M1055 is left blank we will give you an error that M1055 must be answered.  If M0150 is answered as ‘3 – Medicaid Traditional Fee For Service‘ and M0065 [Patient’s Medicaid Number] is marked as ‘N/A‘ then we will give you a warning that your M0150/M0065 answers are not consistent.

Note: We are already doing this for the M0150/M0063 [Patient’s Medicare Number] combination.
