M1041: CMS OASIS Q&As
1 question CMS has answered, quoted whole from the CMS OASIS Q&As.
M1041. When completing M1041, Influenza Vaccine, what response option is correct if we gave the flu vaccine on Sept. 15th and there was a Transfer date (M0906) of Sept. 30th, but the date the Transfer OASIS was completed (M0090 – Date Assessment was Completed) was Oct. 2nd?
Patients that did not receive care, (or have any days of their quality episode occur) between October 1 and March 31 are excluded from the computation of the Influenza process measures. The quality episode begins with M0030/M0032 SOC/ROC Date and ends with the Discharge/Transfer/Death at home Date, M0906. In your scenario, the appropriate response for M1041, Influenza Vaccine Data Collection Period, would be “0 – No [Skip to M2401 Intervention Synopsis]” because the patient transferred to the inpatient facility (M0906) on September 30th.
