Mutual and Linked Patients

Mutual Patients are cases where 2 Patients (such as a husband and wife) are scheduled at the same time and serviced simultaneously by the same Caregiver.

Linked Patients are cases where 2 Patients are scheduled back-to-back by the same Caregiver. For example, Patient 1 is scheduled from 8am-12pm and Patient 2 is scheduled from 12pm-4pm.

When servicing Mutual and Linked Patients, the Caregiver only needs to call in (Clock IN) at the beginning of the first shift and at the end (Clock OUT) of the second shift.
