Field Description

Assigned Staff Updated by Caller

 

“Assigned Staff Updated by Caller” is a notification exception that displays when someone other than the staff member assigned to the visit clocks in and out of the visit.

This exception is resolved by opening the visit and selecting the correct staff member.

 

Assumed Calls

 

An ‘Assumed Calls’ exception displays when the Assumed Calls functionality is enabled for the agency and a staff member is providing multiple services back to back to back for a client with only one call in and one call out.

Both Calls Received

 

‘Both Calls Received’ is a filter exception that can be used to display calls with both a call in and call out time that have other exceptions that need handling.

GPS Distance

 

When an agency is set up with Sandata Mobile Connect, a GPS Distance exception displays when a call in or call out is placed outside of the configured distance from any of the client’s addresses in the system. This exception is resolved by opening the visit and confirming it occurred at an approved location.

 

Late Visit

 

A ‘Late Visit’ exception displays when the phone call was not received within the required time threshold established by the provider. The parameters for late visits are set by the agency. Late visits passing this threshold become ‘No Show’ exceptions. This is a notification exception that does not prevent the visit from being confirmed until a ‘No Show’ exception is triggered. This exception is resolved by confirming that the field staff member performed the visit and make the necessary adjustments. If the visit was not performed, see ‘No Show’ Exceptions.

 

Makeup Visit

 

A ‘Make Up Visit‘ exception is an identifier exception that indicates a visit is flagged as a make up on the schedule in the Late / Missing Visit Handling tab.

 

Missed Visit

 

A ‘Missed Visit’ exception displays when the phone call was not received within the required time threshold established by the provider. The parameters for late visits are specified by the agency. This visit is resolved by confirming the visit took place and locating the associated visit to be merged. 

 

Missing Service

 

A ‘Missing Service’ exception displays when a visit has been created without a service assigned to the visit. This exception is resolved by opening the visit and adding the correct service.

 

MVV

No Show

 

A ‘No Show’ exception occurs if the staff member failed to call in as scheduled or if they called outside of the scheduled time.

If ‘No Show’ Alerts are configured in the system, an email is also sent to the coordinator’s email address. Managers receive a 2nd level alert after a time set by the agency. This exception is resolved by locating any Unscheduled Visit exceptions that might be this visit, confirming if the visit happened or rescheduling it.

A ‘Payroll Hours less than Scheduled Hours’ exception shows visits with fewer actual hours worked than scheduled for both billing and payroll. This exception is resolved by using the Ovrd button to correct the visit.

 

Speaker Verification

 

A ‘Speaker Verification’ exception is an identifier that displays when the voice confirmation spoken by the either the client or staff member to confirm a call does not match the voice confirmed on record.

If there are issues with billing or payroll, the confirmation can be added after the fact.

This exception is resolved by opening the visit and correcting the TT Bill or TT Pay fields.

 

Unknown Client

 

An ‘Unknown Client’ exception occurs when a call is received from a telephone number not registered to a client. Rather than the client’s name, a telephone number appears, in the Visit Maintenance screen’s Client column, when the visit has an unknown client exception. This exception is resolved by looking for the associated visit to merge the call with or making other adjustments to the visit.

 

Unknown Staff

 

An ‘Unknown Staff’ exception displays when the Santrax ID number entered during the call does not match to a valid field staff’s Santrax ID in the system. It will also occur if a new employee is not entered in the system at the time of the call. This exception is resolved by locating the associated call and merging the visits.

 

Unmatched Client ID Phone

 

This exception displays when where there is a scheduled visit, but no visit activity occurred against that scheduled visit. For example, when there is a conflict between a correct client ID # and the phone number the call is being made from. An example of this would be a field staff entering the correct client ID # but the phone number used differs from the client’s current number listed because two clients share a phone. This exception is resolved by confirming the phone number used on the visit and updating the client's phone number as needed.

 

Unscheduled Event

 

An ‘Unscheduled Event’ exception indicates that a call with no associated schedule was received by the system. This can happen if either the visit was not scheduled in advance or the call was not made within the configured threshold time (Usually with Unknown Client/Unknown Staff).

If there are associated calls for the visit, merge them.

 

Warnings Cleared

 

A Warnings Cleared exception displays when there were previous exceptions that have now been resolved. This exception lets users know that while the visit was previously prevented from auto-confirming, it can now be manually confirmed.
