Mobile Lite Training Key Notes Home Health Aides can do nothing on the mobile device until their schedule has been created. The Scheduler is responsible for assuring that an Aide care plan has been initiated by the clinician in the field and the scheduler confirms it exists (Patient>Clinical>Problems) before it can be added on the Aide s schedule. The scheduler must schedule all aide activities to include patients visits, meal times, office time, meetings, etc. HHAs may not move scheduled visits. They will have to call the scheduler to have a visit moved to another day. Once the HHA has pressed the submit button for documentation it cannot be changed. The Aide cannot make any changes to a completed visit. The scheduler would be responsible for making TimeLog corrections. The aide cannot verify their own visits. The Scheduler will create the HHA s visits on their schedule through the entire certification period based upon ordered frequency. HHA care plans are completed by the start of care clinician with frequency planned for the entire certification period and entered into Allscripts. No patient or family information should be entered into Phone Contacts all of this information is accessed through the Allscripts application. Phones should be cleaned with alcohol swabs before and after each patient encounter. HHA s cannot complete tasks on the device, they can only view. The HHA should email the scheduler stating that they have received and viewed the information so that it can be marked as completed in back. If HHA knows their current caseload and does not see a particular patient on their calendar then they should notify the scheduler to confirm that the patient has an aide care plan, the aide is on the assignments screen and that there is a visit frequency and then schedule the visit for the aide.
