Steps
Generate OASIS assessments in your home health EHR or point-of-care software and upload the resulting file to iQIES, since CMS discontinued the legacy iQIES manual data-entry front end for assessments with target dates on or after April 1, 2026
Target the OASIS-E2 data set (effective April 1, 2026) for new assessments, reviewing CMS's OASIS-E2 Guidance Manual for item-level changes from OASIS-E1, including M0069 (Gender) being replaced by A0810 (Sex), A1250 being replaced by A1255 (no longer collected at discharge), and B1000/B0200/A1110 now being required at Resumption of Care in addition to Start of Care
Confirm your EHR/point-of-care software vendor has updated its OASIS item logic to E2 before April 1, 2026, given the item renumbering and scope changes noted above
Track submission validation and acceptance reports in iQIES to catch item-level rejections tied to the E1-to-E2 transition
For any assessments with target dates from 1/1/2025 through 3/31/2026, note that the legacy manual-entry path remains usable only until 12/31/2026, after which it will no longer be accepted at all
Known gotchas
iQIES no longer supports direct manual entry for current-dated assessments -- any workflow that assumes a UI-based entry point for new assessments will break after April 1, 2026
OASIS-E2 item renumbering (e.g., A0810 replacing M0069) means field-mapping logic built for OASIS-E/E1 will silently misalign if not updated to reference the new item IDs
The legacy manual-entry acceptance window for older-dated assessments (through 12/31/2026) is time-limited, not permanent -- do not build a long-term workflow around it
