In-Services Page
The In-Service function allows Agencies to schedule Caregivers for training and meetings via the HHAeXchange system. The In Service page is primarily used to schedule and track compliance related seminars in the system, as well as to prevent the Caregiver from being scheduled for Patient visits during a scheduled class.
The information in the Caregiver In-Service page under Caregiver > In Service is sorted in ascending order with the most recent classes on top.
