Caregiver Suggestion Scoring
(New with version 5.6)
When creating or editing Caregiver Compatibility categories in the User Defined master list, a scoring value may be specified for the category.
...
By default, the included "Preferred" and "Not Preferred" categories will default this scoring to 1 3 and -1 3 respectively. This can be adjusted to give greater weight to the compatibility in Caregiver Suggestion, and you can additionally add further categories of compatibility of different strengths to indicate different levels of preferences (either for specific management and scheduling purposes, or to simply identify which caregivers the client likes the most, depending on your office's scheduling needs).
...
This scoring also supports the following "magic numbers" to trigger special effects (in addition to strongly affecting the ranking in Caregiver Suggestion):
| 1000 | If there is a listed Caregiver Compatibility with this scoring, only Caregivers with this scoring should be sent to work with this Client. If the Client has at least one Caregiver Compatibility record of a category with this scoring, then scheduling any other Caregiver without this type of Compatibility will cause a "Caregiver Not Recommended" warning to be generated on the schedule. Use this for situations where your office required Caregivers to be specifically introduced or trained with a particular client to work with them. The Caregiver Compatibility can be used to mark those Caregivers that have received the required training or introduction to work with this Client, and other Caregivers should not be sent to this Client if they do not have this type of Compatibility. |
| -1000 | If there is a listed Caregiver Compatibility with this scoring, that Caregiver should never be sent to work with this client. If this Caregiver is scheduled with the client, a "Caregiver Not Recommended" warning will be generated on the schedule. Use this for Caregivers that your Client strongly disliked or is unsuitable for any other reason to ever work with this particular Client again. |
