How to complete assessments with Billiyo.
Completing Assessments With the Clinical App
Assessments are only available via scheduling.
In order to access an Assessment, the schedule must be assigned to you with the appropriate Skilled Assessment.
As of January 1st, 2025, All OASIS Assessments must be scheduled as OASIS Version E1.
An Assessment can be scheduled by the Back office Staff via the Billiyo Web Portal.
To Learn More about Back Office Scheduling, Please Visit Our Page: Scheduling
Or if the clinician has the Qualified Professional Enhanced Role, they can create the schedule themselves via the Billiyo Clinical Application.
Navigation: To Schedule an Assessment Via the Clinical Application. Click on the 3 dots at the top Right of the Screen, then Click on the Plus Sign.
Navigation: To Access the Assessment Go to the Dashboard, Tap the Assessment you want to work and Click Clock in.
In order to Have an Assessment Save, you only have to Identify your Patient on the First Page of the Assessment, then your Assessment will Auto Save and the Assessment can be Left in progress as you leave the Assessment to take care of other responsibilities.
Simply Choose Two Points of Identify Verification, then the Assessment is Saved for Access.
If you leave the Assessment but remain Clocked in to the Schedule, the Assessment is Accessible via the Clipboard Icon.
Navigation: Simply Tap the Icon to be taken back to the Assessment.
Now you can continue your documentation.
Navigation: To Toggle to a Different Section of the Assessment, or View the Sections that are Completed, or still need to be Completed, click the Gray Caret Icon on the Right Side of the Screen.
This action will open the Sections of the Assessment.
Tap on the Section that you would like to View, Edit or Complete.
In the Clinical Application, Nurses and Therapists Completing OASIS Assessments can Easily Identify the Questions that will affect PDGM.
These Questions will have Green Text.
Failing to Select the at least two patient Identifiers will result in loss of the Assessment all together and when you Clock Out Billiyo will let you know there is No Assessment Associated with the schedule. This can happen when the User hits Clock In but then leaves the application all together.
If you have Clocked out of the Schedule, not to worry, as long as you have chosen at least Two Patient Identifiers within the Assessment, you can Access the Assessment in the Clinical Tab.
To Mark the Assessment for Completion, Click on the Check Mark at the Top Right of the Screen.
The System will ask you if you would like to Share the Assessment with the Back Office.
If No is chosen you will be taken back to the Assessment.
If Yes is Chosen the Assessment will be shared with the Back Office for Review.
Once An Assessment is completed in the Billiyo Clinical Application and you as a User have Shared that Assessment with the Back Office. The QA QI team will Audit the Assessment. If Errors are found you will be Notified in the Clinical Application in the More Tab.

Search for the Assessment which Errors were found. In Billiyo an Assessment remains able to be edited in the Application until the Back Office has Passed the Assessment through Audit.
The Assessment will be Marked Red if Errors were found during Audit.
