Tasks Overview

Tasks are specific things that the Caregiver performs while working with the Client; for example, prepare breakfast, shower assist, take to appointment, sweep floor, change bed linens, and so on.

When Tasks are added to a Schedule, they work automatically with Generations EVV. 

• When the Caregiver logs into a shift, they receive a list of tasks to perform; when they log out, they indicate which tasks were performed.
• If a required Tasks is not completed during logout, the agency receives a Task Alert in EVV Schedules; the agency can also require a note for required Tasks not completed. 
• With Time and Task Signatures (TTS) both Caregiver and Client can sign for the shift. 

Tasks can be used without Generations EVV; for example, when a Caregiver logs into the app or web portal to look at their schedule, they can complete tasks. Likewise, tasks can be manually updated by office staff. Some things like the Task Alert and Time & Task Signatures do not work without Generations EVV.
