👤 Clients

The Client – Vitals page is the landing page when accessing a client’s profile. From this page, you can view or edit the client’s vitals - the basic information about a client that is required when creating a Client record, add a comment about the Client’s file and access all information and activities linked to the client record.

When accessing activities linked directly to the client, two menus will always be available: Client Information and Client Management. The Client Information menu is where detailed information about the client can be entered whereas the Client Management menu allows direct access to the HIFIS modules where you can track the activities done with a client.

🧙‍♂️ Case Management

The Case Management module allows the service provider to keep records of the activities done with a client to reach pre-determined goals. Each goal (desired outcome) that a caseworker and client work towards is a  separate record in the Case Management module. For example, if a client  has a mental health issue they would like to work on and would also like  to find employment, two Case Management records would be created for  the client.

🌡️Assessments

The VI-SPDAT helps identify who should be recommended for each housing and support intervention, moving the discussion from simply who is eligible for a service intervention to who is eligible and in greatest need of that intervention. While the SPDAT is an assessment tool, the VI-SPDAT is a survey that anyone could complete, to help prioritize clients.

â›” Service Restrictions

The Service Restrictions module records services that a client is restricted from, which service providers have restricted them and for how long. It also records the reason why the services were restricted. Clients can be restricted from the following modules: Stays, Food Banks and Goods and Services. When a client is restricted from service, a Client Alert appears under their profile.
