Action Center Communication - Notes for Profiles & Messaging Staff

Overview

Communication is key. With the Action Center, you can do any of the following:

  • Message administrators through the Action Center board
  • Send a note to a caregiver or client's profile, with the option to show the note in the Action Center to administrators
  • Message nurses with their assigned client's patient concerns (requires configuration; speak to your Ankota specialist)


Core Functionality

Prior to using the Action Center messaging system, there are a few core functionalities to understand.

  • Send To: function. This function determines the kind of action created, and where the note or message is sent.
    • If you send to a Note, it will go to the client or caregiver profile. 
    • (Caregivers are listed as a legacy option, but Mobile Chat or Send Message are the expected options)
    • If you send a message to an Administrator, it will go to their Action Center.
    • Marketer, Payer Descriptor, and Role configuration will depend upon your organization.
  • Status: Open versus Closed
    • Notes in the status of Open will be visible in the Action Center
    • Notes in the status of Closed are treated as recordkeeping only, so they will only show in the profile and the Action Center will not be copied
  • Send to telephony/mobile: This is a legacy option for caregivers. Generally, opt for Mobile Chat or Send Message.
  • Close Selected Actions: to close an action, select the open actions by checking the box next to them, then clicking the Close Selected Actions button.

  • Go to the Action Center in the Main Menu
  • Click the Create New Action button
  • Choose or cancel the tag

    • If you select a Caregiver next to Caregiver: as well, it will send a copy of this note to the Caregiver's Notes tab
    • Select All Admins or a specific admin
  • Choose a status of Open for it to be visible in the Action Center; closed to be filed for recordkeeping

Sending Notes to Caregiver Profiles

To send a note to a caregiver profile, 

  • Go to the Action Center
  • Click the Create New Action button
  • Choose or cancel the tag
  • Select Note: next to Send To:
    • If you select a Client next to Client: as well, it will send a copy of this note to the Client's Client Overview tab
