Customer

Your work centers around your customers.

Customer Center

Your customers are your main concern. Your agency strives to provide the best service to its customers. The Fieldworker platform lets you define, manage, and easily access customers' contact information, set communication preferences, billing terms, etc.

  • Create multiple customer contacts, phone numbers & email addresses

  • Set up multiple service locations, etc., on file

  • Review notes, documents, images & view history at a glance

  • Manage customer goals and associate tasks that will be performed to achieve these goals

The Clients (Customer) page is the primary command center for individual case management within FieldWorker. It is designed to provide a 360-degree view of a service recipient, ranging from their basic medical data to real-time activity logs.

Layout & Navigation

The page is organized into a header for quick identification and a series of sub-tabs for deep-dive management.

The Header

At the very top of the page, the header allows you to navigate the entire client database before diving into a specific profile:

  • Clients Search Bar: A predictive text field to quickly find a specific client by name.

  • Status Dropdown: Filter your view by Active, Inactive, or Pending clients to keep your workspace organized.

  • Sort By Dropdown: Organize the client list by Name, Created Date, or Recent Activity to prioritize your workflow.

  • NEW CUSTOMERarrow-up-right Button: A high-visibility action button to initiate the intake process for a new individual.

Identity Section

  • Client Name: Prominently displayed (e.g., Andre Fuego Mandana Mayaarrow-up-right).

  • Quick Action Icons: Located next to the client's name, these icons allow for immediate interaction:

  • Core Data Fields

    • Identifiers: Displays Customer ID, DDID (Developmental Disabilities ID), and Status.

    • Contact Info: Direct access to Email, Phone, and Primary Address.

    • Clinical Context: Lists Date of Birth, Gender, and Diagnosis Codes (ICD-10) to ensure staff are aware of specific medical needs at a glance.

    • Compliance Dates: Includes Medicaid Eligibility dates and the Acquired Date (when they joined your agency).

  • Demographics: Lists Date of Birth, Gender, and Diagnosis Codes (ICD-10) for immediate clinical context.

Detailed Tab Breakdowns

The horizontal menu allows you to toggle between different facets of the client’s profile:

Tab

Purpose

Overview

A dashboard summary of time spent, task types, and recent voice/text notes.

Projects

Lists all active service authorizations or specific work programs assigned to the client.

Tasks

A granular list of pending and completed actions (e.g., Home Visits, Phone Calls).

People

Manages the "Circle of Care," including family contacts and preferred employees.

Preferences

captures non-clinical data like hobbies, triggers, or specific routine requirements.

Detailed medical history, medication logs, and allergy information.

The right side of the screen provides a "Snapshot" of engagement metrics: functions as a real-time analytics dashboard for that specific client:

  • Projects Overview: A summary widget showing the total Time Spent on Tasks (e.g., "6 months spent on 165 tasks") to track service utilization.

  • Collapsible Folders:

    • Phone Numbers: Lists all verified numbers for the client and their guardians.

    • Locations: Pinpoints the primary service location or home address.

    • Task Types: A comprehensive list of services provided, such as CBS Visitsarrow-up-right, Home Visitsarrow-up-right, and Telemedicinearrow-up-right.

    • Preferred Employees: Shows staff members designated as "preferred" by the family to ensure person-centered scheduling.

The customers are organized and can be accessed based on their status (Active, Inactive, or Prospects, etc.). The list could be sorted by their name or by their joining date. The list of customers can be accessed as a drop-down in the top left of the window.

Recent Activity & Voice Notes

At the bottom of the Overview, you will find a feed of the 5 most recent notes.

  • Voice-to-Text Integration: If a field worker recorded a voice note, you can play the audio directly from this screen or read the transcribed text.

  • Attribution: Every note displays the date, time, and the specific staff member (e.g., Tiffany Alexander) who created it, ensuring a clear audit trail.

FieldWorker & AbilityHub Integration

The Customer page acts as the "Source of Truth" that feeds the family app:

  • Real-Time Progress: Notes marked as "Visible to Family" in the Notes tab instantly appear in AbilityHub.

  • Schedule Transparency: Any project or task scheduled here populates the family's shared calendar.

  • Compliance: The Medicaid Eligibility and Acquired Date fields ensure that the agency only bills for active, eligible participants.

The Customer page is accessible to all platform users, regardless of their role. The admin users of an agency have access to all the customers (and their records), other employees have access to only those customers that are either assigned to them directly, or indirectly (to an employee managed by them).
