Scheduling Visits to a Client

There are two ways to schedule a task: One way is by selecting the calendar day or by selecting New/Client Task.

 

Both paths open the “Employee Scheduler” window. Selecting the calendar day will pre-populate the date in the new task schedule window. The date will be entered manually when using the New Task route.

 

The following are further details for the Employee Scheduler, each piece and what it allows the agency for scheduling purposes:

1. Shift Length – Includes three options: a drop-down selection which automatically calculates the ‘to’ time once the shift start time is entered; Override the Shift Length allows manual input of the shift in and out times.

2. From and To – Agencies will place the date of Service in the From and To areas. If the agency Selects a Shift length hour from the drop-down selection once they place the start time, it will automatically calculate the end time. If Override Shift Length is selected, then the agency will set their own start and end time. If the agency selects to Schedule without time, then the start and end time will disappear.

3. Payment Source – Once the From and To fields are populated the payment source list will display all client payers that cover the date being scheduled. Select the Payment Source paying for the scheduled task.

4. Task – Select the task being scheduled. The task list is ordered by category and may contain the following based on the types of documents the agency has created: Assessments, Visit Notes, Care Plans, Orders, Coordination of Care and Supervisory.

5. Recurrence – The recurrence feature allows the agency the ability to easily schedule the same task out multiple times based on the client’s specified need. If a recurrence schedule is used, the user must indicate an “end date” of the recurrence and for the daily/weekly options of how often the task repeats.

 

Recurrence Options:

None – No recurrence needed.

Daily – Task recurs every ‘X’ amount of days until the end date is reached.

Weekly – Task repeats every ‘X’ number of weeks on the days selected.

Monthly – Task repeats every ‘X’ number of months on the selected day of the month or the day of the week.

Flexible – Useful for tasks that do not recur in a set pattern. Select the days the task needs to occur on. There is a current limit of 31 scheduling events that may be scheduled at a time.

6. Caregiver/Employee – Indicate who will be completing the task. Three selections are available:

Unassigned – If there isn’t an identified caregiver for the shift the task may be set up as unassigned (open). Unassigned tasks appear Yellow on the client schedule for easy identification.  Once a caregiver is identified the task may be reassigned to the user.

Assign to Caregiver/Employee – If a staff member has been identified the drop-down user list may be used to select the staff. The staff that has been identified as oriented and favorite will show at the top of the list for easy selection. The list will also filter as a user’s name is typed (when the drop-down list is open).

Find a Match –  The last option is to search for suitable matches based upon the match criteria set up for the clients and employees.

7. Comments & Save – The last step in Scheduling is to add any comments about the tasks to be scheduled. These show up as a yellow sticky note on each task scheduled. Once all the information is entered completed, the agency can “Save & Close” which will add the task/s to the client schedule. If the agency chooses they can “Save & Add Another” task for the client.
