OASIS Rules That Impact 485 Answers


This feature only works for 485s that are built from the assessment.  The list below shows you how the 485 will be answered based on the OASIS answers within the assessment.  If a 485 seems incorrect to you, double check the OASIS answer and change as needed.  If the OASIS answer was changed then you will need to rebuild the 485, and OASIS if it was already build as well.  

If OASIS is Answered This Way...                 Then the 485 Will be answered this way...
