Although home health agencies have had GG0130 and GG0170 OASIS items for five years, clinicians and clinical leadership staff often remain unable to accurately assess and score (code) the GG items. This session will briefy overview the Discharge Function Score calculation and then deep dive into guidance and tips for accurately coding the GG items.
