Abstract: The OASIS-C1/ ICD-9 Version is an interim version of the OASIS-C1 data item set which we created in response to the legislatively mandated ICD-10 delay. OASIS-C1/ICD-9 Version incorporates the clinical updates and burden reduction advantages of OASIS-C1. However, we have replaced the items from OASIS-C1 that use ICD-10 codes with corresponding items from OASIS-C that use ICD-9 codes. Use of OASIS-C1/ ICD-9 Version will not change the way in which OASIS data will be collected and reported to CMS. Provider burden will actually be decreased with the implementation of OASIS-C1/ ICD-9 Version due to the deletion of items not for payment, quality, or risk adjustment in the OASIS-C1 data item set.

Emergency Justfication: Please see the attached Emergency Justification Memo.
