Homecare

The HomeCare program records details of Clients who are to receive a service of care and the details of the Carers who are to provide the service. Carer details include the times the carer is available for work.

A plan of care (multiple services) is entered for each client and carers are assigned to provide the service.

A schedule of visits derived from the care plans is generated. This schedule can be amended permanently or temporarily. When making assignments the system displays the carers who are available on the day of the assignment. When making temporary assignments, the system notifies the user if the carer is already working at the time of the assignment.

A Permanent Assignment is when a carer is scheduled to undertake this task each time the task is scheduled. ie. Monday at 9.00am to 10.00am every seven days. If the carer is absent for whatever reason, then another carer would be assigned on a Temporary basis, using the Temporary Assignments screen.

The details of organisations or individuals (funders) who are to pay for the services provided are also recorded. Funder details include the type of invoice to be produced and the invoice frequency.

Carer timesheets can be produced showing details of time worked by each carer and the calculation of gross pay. Mileage and expense payments can also be recorded and optionally recharged via the invoice routine.

The system has a series of week-end procedures which are used to process/update the current weeks information and generate a new week.

The system also has the facility to produce billing and payroll export files.

There are numerous in-built reports and the data can be accessed using industry standard reporting tools.
