Staff Assignments (Caseload Management)

Use this form to set or update Staff Assignments for clinicians. 

About Staff Assignments

This feature will allow you to manage the caseload of individual staff members. The Staff Assignment form allows you to maintain a detailed accounting of all staff associated with a case. This form is also able to retain historical information, not just current. Multiple Staff Assignments can be associated with one patient. For example, a patient might have an Intake Coordinator, Therapist, and Social Worker assigned to them.
