1. Show the total number of hours for all the master schedules created on the Master Schedule window.
Users will have the ability to see the total hours on the master schedule screen. These total hours will be the sum of the totals of all the plans listed on this screen.
2. Sending auto notification on new invoice creation to multiple recipients.
The system will now allow user(s) to send notifications on new invoice creation to multiple recipients based on the selection done under office settings -> Billing tab -> Send Auto-Notification on new Invoice creation.
Previously there was a checkbox for the agency to decide if they wish to send an invoice to a payer. From now onward, instead of a checkbox, a drop-down will be shown, along with the ability to multi-select for the following recipient(s)
- Client
- Payer
- Emergency Contact
3. Assigning caregiver as Primary on the assessment tab for any client in the State of TEXAS.
For agencies operating in the state of Texas, the system will allow user(s) to assign a primary caregiver on the Assessment -> Facesheet tab.
The list of Active caregiver(s) will be shown in the dropdown from where the selection will be made.
4. Ability to Set default service type under client’s profile.
A new field is introduced under the Client’s profile -> Main tab titled “Default Service Type.”
User(s) will have the ability to select the default service type that would then be carried forward at the time of creating the schedule for that particular client. The value for service type would appear as selected under the service type drop-down on the create schedule window.
5. New column “Finalized On” is added on the Drafted Payroll & Invoice screens.
User(s) will now be able to see one more column on the View/Drafted Invoice screen, labeled as ” Finalized On” and also on the View/Drafted Payroll screen so that they can review when the invoice or payroll batch was finalized.
6. Ability to void Invoices in QBO & QBD that are voided in the CareSmartz360 system.
User(s) will have the ability to void an existing invoice in CareSmartz360 which has been already sync’d in QBO/QBD, and the system will automatically void it in QuickBooks as well.
Use cases as an example:
- If an invoice is synced to QBO, and the user voids the invoice in the CareSmartz360 system, it will be voided in QBO automatically.
- If an invoice that is synced (or in the queue) to QBD is voided in the CareSmartz360 system, a request will be added in the Web connector (like sync). The user needs to execute the Web Connector to complete the void process in QBD.
- If an invoice is not synced (not even in the queue) to QBD and the invoice is voided in the CareSmartz360 system, then it will have no effect on QBD (as nothing is synced).
- If a user syncs a voided invoice to QBD (invoices that are not synced previously), then two requests will be added to Web Connector (Invoice sync + Invoice Void). Once the Web Connector is executed invoice will be synced and voided in QBD.
Note: If the agency voids an invoice in QuickBooks directly, QuickBooks updates the amount and quantity to ZERO but that has no effect in CareSmartz360 because the operation has been completed in QuickBooks.
7. Ability to create a backdated task(s)
On the Task/Communication screen, the system will allow the user(s) to create a back-dated task(s). No reminder(s) will be sent out for backdated tasks.
8. Ability to select “Schedule Status” while creating a new schedule.
While creating a New Schedule a user(s) now has an option to set “Schedule Status.” All the statuses will be available to the user for selection.
9. Allowing overlapping of unavailability at the time of the creation.
Now the system will allow overlapping of unavailability at the time of creation. Earlier it was not allowed. This can be done from the Agency portal and Caregiver Portal and Mobile app.
10. Allowing multi-edit of shifts on Open Shift Calendar.
Now on the Open Shift(s) Calendar, we have added the ability to edit multiple shifts at once. This is similar to the multi-edit functionality we already have on the Schedule Calendar.
11. Ability to search by client name within client filter on Open Shift Calendar.
An option has been added to type in the name of the client in the Client Search filter available in the Open Shift(s) Calendar.
12. Ability to expand all rows in Open Shift(s) Manager.
User(s) will have the ability to expand in one go to view more details under “Caregiver –> Agency” tab similar to “Agency –> Caregiver” tab.
13. Ability to Add new communication from Schedule Calendar and Open Shift Calendar.
Agencies will be able to “Add communication” notes from View Communication Notes in the Schedule Calendar and Open Shift Calendar itself so that it is easy for the schedulers to add communication right from the Schedule Calendar and Open Shift Calendar instead of leaving the respective calendar screen and then navigating to the respective profile to create it.
14. Message window to open on click of the phone number from Schedule calendar for the client(s).
User(s) will have the ability to send SMS to Client/Caregiver right from the schedule calendar itself where the phone number of the specific profile is mentioned.
15. Ability to view Comments from Communication logs in a user profile.
Now it is possible to view comments from Communication logs. Every communication which contains more than one comment can be expanded on the grid itself to view more comments. Also, we have updated the columns in the log’s table/ grid.
16. Updates on Global SMS Logs section.
- The current two separate date selectors are now replaced with a single Date Range Selector for ease of use.
- Also, we have added a Territory filter that can be applied to filter the results.
17. UI updates.
The Update / Cancel buttons will remain visible (reducing scrolling) for several areas in CareSmartz360 – On the Main tab of all the profiles (Client, Caregiver, Staff, etc.) and Admin settings (Including Office Settings).
18. Ability to enter “Other” person’s name on Client Signature screen from Caregiver Portal/Smartphone App.
1. The system will allow the caregiver(s) to enter the name of the person who is signing on behalf of the client when the “Other” option is selected on the client signature screen.
19. Compatibility section updates under Client and Caregiver Profile.
Compatibility Type filter added in the Compatibility screen on Client and Caregiver profiles, we have added a filter “Compatibility Type”. This will help the user to filter out between various Matching Codes created in the Admin settings under DDM Client Management.
20. New & Revamped UI for Finalized Invoice PDF.
New & Revamped Finalized Invoice PDF has been introduced to make use of the white space to accommodate more schedules.
This improved UI is also compatible with “#10 Business Envelopes”.
21. Reports Updates.
1. Scheduling > Weekly Schedules w.r.t. Caregiver: To make this report more helpful we have introduced a new filter for Base Territory. Now Caregivers can be filtered based on Base Territory to view this report.
2. Client Reports > Client Authorization Expiration Report: To help users we have introduced a Payer filter, a drop-down containing all Payer listings with an option to multi-select.
3. Reports -> Accounting -> Billed Hours by Service Type and Payer: A new report is being introduced in the system in the name of ” Billed Hours by Service Type and Payer”.
The purpose of the report is to show how many hour(s) was billed for a specific client(s), payer & service type combination. The data being generated in this report will be on the basis of Approved schedules only.
EVV/ EDI updates
22. Authenticare workflow improvements in the state of Arkansas.
User(s) will have the ability to enter provider Medicaid ID based on various service types configured in the system under the EVV configuration page.
23. TELLUS workflow improvements for all states.
User(s) will not be able to filter the visit(s) that are rejected in a particular batch on the TELLUS Data Post Detail screen.
Per the current flow, in case 1 record is rejected, the whole batch appears in rejected from the TELLUS end. From now onwards, the user(s) can filter the rejected records only and then view the errors, make corrections in the records and then repost the rejected records only. Re-posting of the whole batch will not be required going forward.
24. Illinois – Sandata Integration.
CareSmartz360 is now integrated with Sandata in the state of Illinois.
25. HHA Exchange – Adjustment codes to include Approved status.
The system will prompt the user to enter the Visit edit reason code & action taken on schedules at the time of manually approving the shift from the Schedule window or from the time tracking screen. This will be applicable on the bulk update of schedule status on Schedule Calendar as well.
26. HHA Exchange – API integration for the state of New Jersey.
CareSmartz360 is now integrated with HHAeXchange in the state of New Jersey via their API method. For Agencies operating in NJ, the user(s) will post the data directly to the HHAeXchange via API. No manual export from CareSmartz360 and then import to the HHAX portal will be required.
