Medicare’s newly revised OASIS (OASIS-C), which is scheduled to be put into practice January 2010,36 has streamlined many assessments but enhanced the section on depression. The OASIS-C queries nurses as to whether a standardized approach (e.g., the TRIAD) has been used to assess depressive symptoms and provides the PHQ-2 as a specific alternative. As agencies begin to use the OASIS-C, the scoring structure and specific language of the PHQ-2 questions are now integrated into the training, and new vignettes have been filmed to support this option, but despite the standardized wording offered by the PHQ-2, nurses continue to benefit from assessment training given the complex medical, cognitive, and functional status of these patients, as well as the attitudes and beliefs that many nurses have about depression.
