Note: From Barnestorm Point of Care, you should ALWAYS build the OASIS from your VISIT. The process shown below is for Barnestorm Office users only, NOT for clinicians who use Barnestorm POC.

1. From Barnestorm Office, select the patient from the Select Patient screen.
2. Click on the OASIS tab from left column.
3. Click on the New button to start an OASIS.
4. Select the MO100, Reason for Assessment and change the MO090 date then click on Create OASIS.
5. From the first screen answer all available Oasis questions and click on Next. 
6. From here, you will be taken through each OASIS question by using the Next button.  If you need to go back to a previous question you can click on the Previous button or select the MO question from the list in the left column.  
7. The skip patterns are built into the answers.
8. The detailed question appears at the top of the page.  The answers follow below it.
9. To answer a question click on the bullet next to the answer.
10. There are two different bullets, circle and square.  The circle bullets mean that only one answer can be selected.  The square bullets mean that you can mark all that apply.  When you select a circle bullet the next MO question will automatically appear.
11. If you try to skip a question a warning message will appear.
12. With the ICD code questions, you can pull ICD codes from the ICD History screen.  This will find the correct ICD codes and pull them in order on the OASIS.  The severity will pull over as well if they are answered in the ICD History screen.
13. If the ICD codes are not in the correct order, you can edit the ICD History by clicking on the Edit ICD History button.
14. After the correct changes have been made click on Save then Exit.  Click on Pull From ICD History button again.
15. On the last page, after entering all the OASIS answers, click on Mark OASIS as Completed, Not Locked. 
16. A list of missing MO questions, if any, will appear.  Click on MO question from the left panel to go straight to that question.
17. After answering any missing questions you must Review and validate the OASIS.  Do this by selecting the OASIS from the main OASIS screen and then clicking on the Review + Validate button. Here are the instructions for validating an Oasis: Validate OASIS iQIES (iQIES, OASIS Validation, PDGM) (barnestorm.biz)
18. After the OASIS has successfully been validated with a date you may lock the OASIS so that it can be exported.  

Tips:

• The OASIS page will show the status of the OASIS: New = OASIS entered, not completed; Not Locked = OASIS completed, not locked; Locked, Not Exported = OASIS has been locked but not exported; Exported = OASIS has been exported and shows the date.
• The OASIS page will show the date and time that the OASIS was last modified. 
• Barnestorm prevents you from entering an OASIS out of sequence.  Ex.  You cannot enter a transfer OASIS until the resumption OASIS has been entered.
• You do not have to open the OASIS to lock it.  You can use the buttons from the OASIS page.  Once you Finish and Verify that the OASIS has no errors, you can Validate and Lock it. 
• See the OASIS Correction article on when to use the Inactivate and Inactivate and Resubmit buttons.
