Frequently Asked Question

The structure for setting up your client list is fundamental to the way you work. there are three levels, as shown at the bottom of this help article. Whether you refer to a Group or Trust, or a Client or Hospital, or a Location or Ward they are treated the same by the software and they are just headings.

Consideration has to be given to both Pay and Charge Rates when setting up Clients and Invoicing Levels.

Pay and Charge Rates An example for Pay and Charge Rate consideration is that you may pay and charge the same rates for all nursing homes, or you may have negotiated different rates of charge for each nursing home.

So you could set your groups as Nursing Homes Standard Rate, and Nursing Homes Separate Rates. Both with a list of Nursing Homes underneath.

Pay Scales are set up as defaults so for the above example, you would set up a default pay scale for each grade supplied for Nursing Homes Standard Rates, and then separate Pay Scale defaults for each grade for the Nursing Homes Separate Rates. This could then be amended separately for each unique Nursing Home under the Nursing Homes Separate Rates Group.

Invoice Levels Further consideration needs to be given as to how your Clients will be invoiced
