d. HIPAA
ANS: B
Beginning in 1998, home care agencies phased in a new requirement to complete a functional health assessment on all Medicare clients before they begin care. The results of the assessment feed into a standardized database. The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) developed the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) assessment for the purpose of describing home care clients, developing outcome benchmarks, and providing feedback regarding quality of care to home health agencies. The OASIS assessment is required for home health agencies to receive reimbursement for the care provided to Medicare recipients. The acronym EHR stands for electronic health record. NANDA stands for North American Nursing Diagnosis. HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
