Calendar Based Scheduling
Calendar-Based Scheduling
Although scheduling can be performed by creating a new visit under Visits or by using the Create Visits tab under a client, the easiest method to schedule is by using calendar-based scheduling on the main Scheduling Board.
To create a new visit or series of visits for any caregiver,
- Click on a blank space in the caregiver calendar
- A pop-up scheduling window will appear with the caregiver’s name prepopulated
- Begin typing the client’s name in the client field, which will cause a drop-down list to appear
- Select the client’s name from the list and the list of current authorizations will populate directly below that name
- Select the appropriate authorization
- This selection will cause the visit type and status type to automatically populate next to the authorization number
- If you wish to create a repeating visit, check the box next to Repeated Visit
- The authorization select will cause the end date to automatically populate as an option as well
- Click Update Visit Detail
This visit or visit pattern will also be added to the main scheduling board calendar as well as the caregiver’s and client’s calendars. Long-term patterns will even be registered in the client’s personal visit pattern inside their client profile.
To Edit a single visit from the calender:
- Click on the visit and select the "Only to this Visit" button.
- Make the necessary change
- Click "Update Visit Details" to apply the changes
To Edit a pattern in calendar based scheduling:
- Click on the visit from the Caregiver Schedule Board
- Click "To All the Visits" blue button
- Next, make the appropriate adjustments*
- Click update Visit Detail.
*Ensure to look at the date ranges and start with the appropriate starting date.
This edit will make the same changes to all visits in the pattern.
