The eTOTALplan stand alone Application for iPhone and iPad leverages eTOTALplan’s existing technology in a customizable, mobile suite. eTrack enables managers and employees to capture and validate critical information whether employees are at their desks or on-the-go.


Employee Scheduling

Managers create a schedule for each employee incorporating client needs, delivery routes or other factors.

Custom Forms
Employees create a custom form that includes a list of duties to be performed at each client location or stop. The form is then stored in their mobile device where they are able to check off each task, sign the form and obtain a signature from the client, indicating that all services have been completed.

Photo Confirmation and Reporting
Employees are able to take a picture and email the form from their mobile device to show that their assignment is complete.

GPS Tracking Technology
Mileage Calculations: Automatically reports all mileage to payroll.
GeoFence Technology: Tracks employee arrival and departure times with a reminder to clock in and out of assignments.

Scheduling Tips for Home Healthcare Employees

Professionals that work in home healthcare face challenges with scheduling and can run into problems relating to travel or time tracking. Below are scheduling options that can make home healthcare scheduling more efficient.

 

Purchase scheduling software. eTOTALplan offers software packages specifically designed for medical professionals or groups that are working in the home healthcare field. 

 

Allow employees to submit vacation requests using the software or directly to management to enter into the system. The software will automatically keep the nurse or professional free on their requested vacation days once it has been entered into the program. 

 

Set scheduling parameters. This means the company or hospital sets a standard for nurses or medical professionals to meet, including minimum hours or days, labor laws and union requirements. 

 

Enter patient information. This information makes it easier to determine each professional's assignments and ensure that professionals are not traveling too far between patients. 

 

Make a copy of the schedule available for nurses and medical professionals to consult regarding which homes they are going to, where the homes are located, duties to be performed, time limits for patient care and any other information the nurses or medical professionals need. The eTrack mobile application makes this information available via iPhone or iPad, so both management and employees have access to pertinent information whether at their desks or on-the-go.
