title: Integrating OASIS data collection into a comprehensive assessment.
abstract: OASIS should not be used as a survey tool; rather, it should be integrated into a comprehensive assessment. It is almost never appropriate to simply read OASIS questions verbatim to patients and expect them to name the letter of the response. This article provides strategies for collecting OASIS data as part of a routine patient comprehensive assessment.
