Enhancements to the caregiver app, homecare agency portal, New EVV Integrations & Reporting features

Caregiver Mobile App

Ability for Caregivers to view Client’s completed Forms

Caregivers can now view completed Client Forms directly from the mobile application. A new ‘Client Forms’ option has been added under the Client Details view in the ‘My Clients’ section. This allows caregivers to access and review forms that have already been completed for a selected client.

To enhance usability, caregivers can also search for forms by name or filter them by a specific completion date range.

Please note:

• This feature is not available in offline mode.
• Access to this feature is permission-based. A new permission setting for ‘Client Forms’ has been added under ‘Mobile Role Management’, enabling agency users to control caregiver access.
• Upon release, the permission will be set to ‘No Access’ by default to ensure that no sensitive information is shared without explicit authorization.

Caregiver Mobile App

Quick Access to Client Info from Schedule Details

Caregivers can now quickly access Client Information directly from the Schedule Details screen. By simply tapping on the Client Image, caregivers will be redirected to the Client Info screen. After reviewing the information, they can return to the Schedule Details with a single back action—ensuring a smooth and intuitive navigation experience.

Please note:

This access is conditional. Caregivers will only be able to view Client details if they have upcoming (future) schedules with that client.

Scheduled Profile Status Update (ON Future Date Selection)

We are excited to announce the release of the Scheduled Profile Status Update feature in the CareSmartz360 Agency Portal (New UI) and Agency Mobile App. This feature enables Staff and Admin users to schedule automatic status updates for Clients, Caregivers, and Office Staff profiles based on a specified date, streamlining profile management and ensuring timely status transitions. The feature includes safeguards, visual indicators, and the auto-status update on the Learn2Care (L2C) platform to maintain system consistency.

• Functionality: When updating a Client, Caregiver, or Office Staff profile status to a non-active state (e.g., Inactive, Suspended), users can specify a Status Update Date/Separation Date in a pop-up window.
• If the date is today or in the past, the profile status updates immediately.
• If the date is in the future, the status update is scheduled and applied on the selected date.
• Applicable Platforms: CareSmartz360 Agency Portal (New UI) and Agency Mobile App.
• The Status Update Date cannot exceed the profile’s restore date. Attempting to set a date beyond the restore date triggers a prompt: “Profile Status change Date cannot be greater than the restore date.”
• Icon for Future Updates: Profiles with a scheduled future status update display a clickable icon next to the profile status.​
• Pop-Up Actions: Clicking the icon opens a pop-up allowing users to:
• Edit the scheduled status update (e.g., change the date or status).
• Cancel the scheduled update using the Cancel Request button, which removes the request and the icon.
• Availability: The icon is only visible for future-dated status updates.
• Delete Future Schedules Option: When updating a Client’s status to non-active, users can check the Delete Future Schedules option.
• If checked, any schedules associated with the Client are deleted as of the Status Update Date.
• For past or present dates, schedules are deleted immediately, consistent with existing workflows. 
• Scope: Applies to Client profiles only.

• Caregiver/Staff Profile Synchronization with L2C: The status on L2C will be updated as per the scheduled date. If the status change happens immediately, this get changed immediately. If the status change is scheduled for the future, this will change the status of the profile as soon as this get changed in CareSmartz360.

Exclusion Check Report

We’re introducing the new Exclusion Check Report in CareSmartz360, available under Reports > Caregiver for Admin and Agency users, designed to help agencies easily identify caregivers, caregiver applicants, and office staff who appear on federal exclusion lists of List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE) and System for Award Management (SAM). This report is updated monthly (on or about the second Saturday of the month; during off-hours to minimize interruption), and it is enabled by default for Admin users and accessible to U.S.-based agencies only.  

Only individuals who match an exclusion record based on First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth (or First Name + Last Name, if date of birth is missing) are displayed. 
 
Each record displays key details such as Name, Entity Type, Status, and the Exclusion List(s) they appear on. Statuses are color-coded, Red for Confirmed, Black for Dismissed, and Blue for Pending Review. 

Users can click on the status to view comments and the timestamp of the last update. 

Users can view detailed match information, add notes, and update the status of a record directly within the intuitive flyout panel under the ‘Action’ column. After reviewing the additional details from the respective exclusion lists, users can confirm or dismiss the record. To facilitate the review of multiple records with the same name, pagination is included, enabling users to easily navigate through the results.

The flyout also allows users to switch between different exclusion lists if the record appears in both exclusion lists. 

To support this feature, a new Exclusion Check Status section has been added to caregiver, applicant, and office staff profiles. Access to this section is controlled through role-based privileges in the Caregiver, Caregiver Applicant, and Office Staff sections in role privilege, ensuring users only see what they’re authorized to view.

By surfacing only relevant matches and providing actionable workflows, the Exclusion Check Report helps agencies proactively manage compliance and maintain high standards across their workforce.
