Lime vs SHP
SHP (Strategic Healthcare Programs) is the name most agencies know for OASIS scrubbing and benchmarking. Lime's Sentinel QA covers the scrubbing and reviews with more evidence: the full chart and the visit conversation. Here is how the two differ, and where they work together.
Lime Health AI
Three products for home health and hospice agencies. OASIS Scribe and Hospice Scribe draft the note during the visit. Sentinel QA runs AI chart review and OASIS scrubbing on every submitted note in about 10 minutes. AI-drafted ICD-10 coding goes to your coders for review.
SHP
A long-established analytics company for home health and hospice. SHP scrubs OASIS data, sends real-time alerts on inconsistent answers, benchmarks agencies against a large national dataset, and administers HHCAHPS and CAHPS Hospice surveys.
Side by Side
Full-chart AI review vs assessment-data scrubbing and benchmarking
| Lime | SHP | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | AI chart review, scribe, and coding | OASIS scrubbing, real-time alerts, and benchmarking analytics |
| What the review reads | The note plus the full chart: plan of care, orders, medications, wounds, prior notes | Assessment and claims data |
| Visit conversation as evidence | Yes, for visits documented with OASIS Scribe or Hospice Scribe | No |
| Visit-note narrative review | Yes, every submitted note | Not the focus. Alerts run on structured data |
| Findings | Issue, rule, source, supporting evidence, recommended correction | Alerts on inconsistent or outlier answers |
| National benchmarking | No | Yes, a long-standing benchmark dataset |
| HHCAHPS and CAHPS Hospice surveys | No | Yes |
| Documentation at the visit | OASIS Scribe and Hospice Scribe draft the note | No |
| Coding | AI-drafted ICD-10 codes for your coders to review | No coding product |
| Pricing | Per review, with a pilot first | Subscription |

Where They Differ
Assessment Data vs the Full Chart
An OASIS scrubber checks the answers on one assessment against each other and against expected patterns. It works from structured data. Sentinel reads the assessment with the documents around it: the plan of care, physician orders, medication records, wound measurements, prior notes, and subforms. It flags an M-item the narrative contradicts, an order with no matching visit documentation, a wound measurement missing from the note.
The Visit Itself as Evidence
When your clinicians document with OASIS Scribe or Hospice Scribe, Sentinel compares the submitted note to the recorded visit conversation. It flags details the patient stated and the note left out, and statements in the note with no support in the visit. A scrubber has no visit to check against.
Alerts vs Findings With Evidence
A scrubber alert tells the clinician two answers disagree. A Sentinel finding names the issue and its severity, the rule behind it, the source document, the exact supporting evidence, and a recommended correction. When a required source is missing, Sentinel says so instead of guessing.
Where SHP Is Stronger
Lime does not benchmark your agency against national data, and it does not run HHCAHPS or CAHPS Hospice surveys. SHP does both, with years of comparison data behind it. If benchmarking and star-rating analytics are your need, SHP is the tool for it.
Using Both
Many agencies keep SHP for benchmarking and add Sentinel for chart review. Sentinel needs no EMR integration and changes no workflow: findings land where QA feedback lands today. Support starts with HomeCare Homebase, with more EMRs onboarding.
The Bottom Line
SHP tells you how your OASIS data and outcomes compare. Sentinel QA tells you whether each chart holds up: every note, checked against the full chart and the visit, with evidence. Choose SHP for benchmarking, Sentinel for chart review, or run both.
