Feature Overview: Cancellation Reasons

Overview

When working with the Consumer Directed Care industry, some clients will inevitably decide to cancel or postpone their bookings due to a crisis, an emergency or personal matters. And there are times this will affect your internal workflow with your support workers, especially if the changes or cancellations were made at the last minute. 
 
Another scenario is when the support worker fails to show up during the scheduled booking. Thus your organisation needs to know the reasons for the cancellation to be able to try your best to avoid more service booking cancellations in the future. 
 

Why is the Cancellation Feature Helpful for my Teams?

 A Service Booking may need to be cancelled for various reasons (the Client is on vacation or hospitalised, last-minute changes to the schedule or staff missed the scheduled booking).
 
In the CareVision management portal, you can now add cancellation reasons in your cancelled bookings to help you monitor cancelled services. This is helpful for your organisation to manage bookings for your staff and your clients during the reporting season.

Automated Rules Based on Cancellation Reasons

When there are service cancellations based on the client or the staff’s availability, changes in schedule, or conflict in booking services, the cancellation will impact scheduling, billing, and payroll, depending on the reason.
 
To further streamline your workflow process regarding scheduling and cancelling a booking, we have added capability to automate several actions based on the cancellation reason indicated for each booking. These are configured in the portal to avoid manually inputting information such as billing and payroll details.

How to configure custom Cancellation Reasons
