You will see you have a huge amount of flexibility in terms of scheduling the visits. Here is an overview of the options:
- Visit Team - This will allow you to define which group the visit you're creating should be in. This field will automatically default to a group in the following priority order:
1. Active episode of care's consultant code's group
2. Staff 'Acts as Group' if no group for 1.
3. Patient's group (only if the Patient has one group) and there are no groups present in 1. or 2.
If there are no groups for any of the above, then this field will default to 'No group'. - Service - this is where you select what you are doing
- Repeat intervals - Daily/Weekly, Monthly or over a custom interval. Monthly interval allows you to choose between day of the week (eg 15th) or day of the month (2nd Tuesday of the month)]. Custom allows you to have visits that take place over a weekly cycle but less frequently than every week, so every 3 weeks for instance.
- Double Up - this requires two staff members to be on the visit and marks it as such on the rotas. If then visit lasts for 30 minutes and it is marked as a double up it will invoice for 1 hour.
- Time - You can specify on each day what time the visit starts and how long it lasts. This is good for a visit that occurs every day of the week, but at slightly different times or if you go for slightly longer on one day. You can also choose for the visit to last 24 hours - this will add the visits without specifying a time.
- Default Carer - You can choose to have a different default carer on the 1st week than the second week. This allows alternate staff at weekends for instance. You can also choose a second default carer on a visit. The default carer will be the person chosen when you press the allocate carers button shown on the Visits Week View and Service Users Week Planner as long as they are not busy doing another visit and they haven't marked this as a time they are unavailable for work.
- Visit Notes - these appear on every instance of the repeating visit you are creating.
