Scheduling Coordinators / Care Coordinators

Overview

Requires Configuration; Contact Support

Scheduling coordinators, which can be "captioned" (renamed in your system) as care coordinators, supervisors, or team leaders, typically manage not only their own workload but also review their team's data in the Business Intelligence Dashboard, and/or ensure other caregivers complete their workload. Some scheduling coordinators may be nurses who help manage the scheduling of certain clients' visits as well.

To support this function, Scheduling Coordinator permissions can be assigned in Ankota to the case manager as part of the Assigned Caregiver special permissions function, so that caregivers with the Scheduling Coordinator permissions can limit their view on the following pages:

  • Client search

  • Client details

  • Visit approval dashboard

  • Client Schedule Board

  • Visits

page access only works if ankota.net page view permissions were established and assigned to the caregiver as well as the Scheduling Coordinator permissions. See below for further details.

Setting up Scheduling Coordinators

The first step in creating care coordinators is defining your name for the role (Care Coordinator, Scheduling Coordinator, Supervisor, Team Leader, etc.), then assigning that role a permissions level.

To do so,

  • Log in to your environment

  • Click your organizations name or go to Settings --> Organization Detail

  • Click the Organization Details --> Roles subtab

  • Click Add New

  • Define the Role Name (what do you want to call this role)

  • Assign to Type: Scheduling Coordinator (set the permissions level) 

The Organization Detail page displays multiple configuration tabs with a modal dialog open showing the Roles section. The Roles dialog contains fields for Role Name (set to "Care Coordinator"), Assigned Status (set to "Not_Set"), Type (set to "Scheduling Coordinator"), checkboxes for "Show on Client Screen" and "Exclude from Availability report", and a Roles Preferences dropdown, along with a Save button.

Assigning Scheduling Coordinator View Permissions

There are two kinds of Scheduling Coordinator permissions:

  • permissions to view and manage a unique caseload of clients

  • permissions to view and manage a unique caseload of caregivers

    • These are your Supervising Scheduling Coordinators

this requires configuration, both for the Coordinator caseload functionality and to tailor a template viewpoint for Scheduling Coordinators.

Assigning CLIENT Scheduling Coordinator Permissions

Caregivers will see clients they have Scheduling Coordinator permissions for. To assign these permissions,

  • Go to the Client

  • Click the Assigned Caregiver tab

  • Assign the caregiver with the Type: Scheduling Coordinator

The Assigned Caregiver tab is displayed for a client detail page, showing a table with columns for Caregiver Name, Type, Visit Type, Caregiver Code, Override Pay Code, Payroll ID, and Status. The first row shows "Admin, Abigail" with Type listed as "Scheduling Coordinator" and Status as "Active".

Alternately,

  • Go to the Caregiver

  • Click the Roles tab

  • Click Add New to assign the caregiver to the client

  • Choose Type: Scheduling Coordinator

The Default Role dropdown is set to "Not Set-" with an "Add New" button available to create additional roles.

The Edit dialog for a scheduling coordinator shows fields for Client (set to "Client, Test"), Type (set to "Scheduling Coordinator"), Service Type (set to "Not Set"), and Status (set to "Active"), with Save and Cancel buttons at the bottom.

Assigning CAREGIVER Scheduling Coordinator Permissions

In the case when you want a caregiver to be able to manage/view other caregivers, you will assign caregiver scheduler coordinator permissions.

To make the caregiver eligible to view and manage other caregivers,

  • Go to the Caregiver

  • Click the Roles tab

  • Click Default Role: and select Scheduling Coordinator

To assign a Scheduling Coordinator to manage a specific caregiver (in the Supervising Scheduling Coordinator role),

  • Go to the Caregiver

  • Under Assigned Care Coordinators, click Add New

  • Pick the Scheduling Coordinator from the list of coordinators and assign them

The Roles tab of a caregiver profile for Little Richard shows client assignments and care coordinators, with a modal dialog open for assigning a new care coordinator that includes a dropdown menu pre-populated with "Jane Austen" and an "Assign New Care Coordinator" button.
