Patient Address on GPS Map
A PIN denotes the Patient Address in the GPS Map View at Clock In and Clock Out when the Patient Address is not GPS-enabled. If there are coordinates available (latitude and longitude), then the PIN for the Patient Address is displayed as a blue dot surrounded by a light blue circle indicating the tolerance range.
When the Caregiver clicks on the Confirm button, a message alerts that there may an issue with the Patient Address. It is recommended to contact the Agency to report.
In cases where the Patient Address is not GPS-enabled without available coordinates, the screen displays only the Caregiver location, as denoted by the blue dot and arrow.
The Patient Address is listed at the bottom of the screen. When the Caregiver clicks on the Confirm button, the same alert appears.
To prevent issues with a Patient Address, it is recommended that the GPS is enabled in the system.
Once enabled, a Caregiver using the GPS EVV method, is presented with a real-time map location relative to the Patient address. This helps them evaluate and approximate to an In Range coordinate before confirming a Clock-In or Clock Out.
The Patient is represented by the blue dot in the middle, and the Caregiver is represented by a blue dot and arrow (serving as a directional compass as the Caregiver moves). The light blue circle represents the Tolerance Range in feet (as defined by the Agency; capped at 1,000 feet). Guidance is provided below the map assisting with proximity.
The image on top indicates that the Caregiver is likely Out of Range while the image on the bottom illustrates the Caregiver closer to the Patient and In Range. Once In Range, the Caregiver can click the Confirm button to capture the EVV.
