I am always asked how a person can get education on OASIS so they can apply to become a home health nurse or therapist or even MSW. There are many courses online, but some require or assume you are already working in home health and don’t really cover the basics.
I have put together a series of FREE podcasts on the OASIS to help you understand the basics to be able to have an intelligent interview and aplication for a home health care position.
Home health care is one of the fastest growing aspects of health care and is expected to continue to grow in order to reduce the high costs of health care and to IMPROVE outcomes for patients who thrive in their own environment and are obviously less affected by hospital acquired infections if they can have shorter stays or avaoid hospitalization all together.
