OAI (Appendix E) Analysis

The DVC should: 

• Start preliminary review of the documentation as soon as possible, but no earlier than January 1, before the visit, to collect any follow-up documentation during the on-site or virtual visit. 
• Review the OAI (Appendix E) for completeness and accuracy. The DVC should note the sections of the OAI that the SO missed or didn’t complete, and the DVC should follow up with the SO to complete these sections. CMS requires the DVC to determine whether any identified gaps in the OAI (Appendix E) responses need the SO to address them before or during the site visit portion of the review. 
• Review the source code and other documentation and become familiar with the SO’s data systems and processes detailed in the OAI (Appendix E) to guarantee thorough preparation for the site visit.
