Caresmartz 360 gives an agency the ability to associate "Goals" with Clients.

We provide you with a comprehensive Goals Management System that allows agency users to define, assign, and track client-specific goals. Caregivers can now respond to these goals during visits, ensuring better care coordination.

Key Features & Enhancements

1. Client Goals Setup

Agency users can now define structured goals for clients, including:

· Goal Name: A clear, concise title (e.g., "Take Morning Medication").

· Scope/Objective: Optional field to describe the purpose.

· Steps/Description: Detailed instructions or steps to achieve the goal.

· Service Types: Multi-select dropdown to associate goals with specific services.

· Frequency: Define how often the goal should be completed (e.g., 3 times per week).

Where to Add Goals:

· Settings > Client > Goals & Response: Centralized management of reusable goals.

· Client Profile > Assessment > Goals Tab: Add or customize goals for individual clients.

2. Caregiver Response Management

Where to Add Caregiver Response:

· Settings > Client > Goals and Response - Centralized management library of standardized caregiver responses.

· Add new responses with:

· Response Text (e.g., “Completed”, “Not Completed”)

· Response Key (2-character code like “C”, “NC”)

· Responses are globally applicable across all goals.

· Responses can be reordered to assign scoring (starting from 0)

· Caregivers can log responses to goals during visits

· Predefined Responses: Quick-select options like “C” or “NC” with short keys.

· Scoring System: Each response is scored to calculate progress.

· Editable Responses: Caregivers can edit or delete responses before clock-out.

Example:
If a goal is “Assist with walking,” the caregiver can select “C” if completed and add notes like “Client walked 10 minutes.”
