Here are some suggestions we’ve recently released and what’s coming soon.
GUARDIAN’S RELATIONSHIP TO THE CHILD
In the list of relationship options, “child” is no longer a selection item.
PAT programs will see “child” as a selection item on PAT’s form titled Family Intake Record. This may be due to differences in how individuals are entered in other data systems but it’s not necessary to have an item in Visit Tracker. So thank you for pointing that out!
PVR AUDIT TRAIL
An audit trail was added to the PVR in a past project but was only showing when viewing the printable version of the PVR. It was suggested that the audit trail should show on the editable version of the PVR as well. Here’s an example of what that looks like on the PVR.
CHILD SCREENINGS COMPLETED QUESTION
On each of the child screening records, the “…Screening Completed?” question is now required. When creating new records, the Yes/No selections will default to blank.
This suggestion came in due to this question often being overlooked resulting in screening compliance confusion.
UPCOMING SUGGESTIONS
Here are some of the items we have in our project schedule over the next few months.
- PICCOLO – add a print version
- PICCOLO – add individual scores to the report
- Exit Summary report – add home visitor column
- Updating exited families and children without having to reactivate
And one big suggestion that is currently in progress – Data Quality Alerts.
We often hear about the need to be alerted to missing data related to model compliance and MIECHV standards. There is the Reminders feature to help you know what is coming up. (Check out the Reminder Rules video if you haven’t already.) But that doesn’t cover the items that have been missed.
We’re working a menu of missing data alerts where your program can choose the items that are most important to you and help you with your everyday preparation in serving your families.
We’ll be sending out more details on this project as it gets closer to completion.
Keep the suggestions coming! Thank you
