OASIS

by

OASIS is a key component of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) partnership with the home care industry to foster and monitor improved home health care outcomes.  It is also proposed to become an integral part of the revised Conditions of Participation for Medicare-certified home health agencies (HHAs). The Outcome and Assessment Information Set-C (OASIS-C) is a group of data elements that: (1) Represent core items of a comprehensive assessment for an adult home care patient; and (2) Form the basis for measuring patient outcomes for the purposes of outcome-based quality improvement (OBQI)

Penn Neurodegeneration Genomics Center (PNGC)

by

Penn Neurodegeneration Genomics Center (PNGC) is part of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, in the Perelman School of Medicine, at the University of Pennsylvania. PNGC studies genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease and other related dementia. Our researchers apply high throughput genotyping and sequencing technologies to analyze tens of thousands of genomes and find novel genes. New experimental approaches, algorithms, and databases are developed in order to translate these findings into biological knowledge about the disease and new directions for drug discovery and preventive strategies.
