OASIS-C2 GG0170C Mobility Functional Ability
The OASIS-C2 (effective 1/1/2017) incorporates a couple new items. As a home health physical therapist, I am most excited about the new OASIS-C2 item called, “GG0170C Mobility,” which is part of Section GG.
This new functional mobility assessment question in the OASIS-C2 identifies the patient’s ability (with or without assistance) to mobilize from supine to sitting at the edge of the bed with their feet flat on the floor.
A cool innovation is that GG0170C Mobility includes a goal or expected functional ability by the end of care. This will objectively measure if functional progress was made from the start to the end of care.
I am pleased to see innovation with the OASIS and a continued emphasis on the importance of safety and functional mobility.
Home health providers have the extraordinary opportunity to improve our beloved patient’s quality of life. I’m grateful for the opportunity and take advantage of it every day!
Stay safe and create value out there.
