Especially caregivers, schedulers, and billers can have an extra load of work to check off as the season approaches.

CareSmartz360 is the central hub for tracking, managing, and coordinating home care plans and loved ones’ health. Take a look at how the software can help your home care team truly enjoy the holiday season without having anything to worry about.

Don’t Get Your Schedule In A Tangle!

Who needs Santa when you have CareSmartz360’s home care scheduling software designed to increase your efficiency and provide you with a hassle-free scheduling experience?

Around the holiday season, caregiver schedules can get packed, leading to confusion, missing shifts, miscommunication, and other errors, but with CareSmartz360, you are in for a smooth scheduling process.

Here’s how it can help:

• Schedulers can utilize a color-coded calendar that has a complete view of all the shifts assigned to a caregiver, including the ability to see the broader context through a month-by-month plan. The color blocks in the calendar indicate open Shifts, approved Shifts, no Shows, and scheduled Shifts.
• More effective scheduling lets schedulers spend more time enjoying and less time worrying about the holiday rush. CareSmartz360’s automation feature saves time by allowing them to grasp the intricacies of successful scheduling, offer the best caregiver-client match, swiftly fill open shifts, and handle missing visits with ease and convenience.
• Create and manage client schedules quickly and easily. Quick Schedule allows you to enter clients, caregivers, services and times. Additionally, the system will prompt you to create a recurring schedule if one was not already created for the client.
• Last-minute changes are inevitable during the holiday season. Manual adjustment of these changes can consume a lot of time, but with CareSmartz360, you can make this complex process a breeze as the software is capable of creating and updating schedules in minutes, leaving nothing behind to worry about.
