Each month Foothold Technology posts a "tip of the month" in the FootholdConnect module and in the FootNotes Monthly Digest.  These tips provide a closer look into AWARDS functionality that you may not be aware of, or specific features of familiar functionality that can be particularly useful when employed in certain ways.

The current tip of the month, along with an archive of past tips, is provided here for your reference.

September 2021 Tip of the Month - Telehealth Tracking for Group Notes!

Did you know you can document telehealth participation in Group Notes at the individual attendee level? This is especially helpful for programs moving back to a hybrid mix of in-person and virtual program participation, with group sessions that include both in-person and virtual attendees. 

By request, a Telehealth checkbox can be enabled in the Group Attendance section of group notes - regardless of whether the group is scheduled or unscheduled. When enabled, users will be able to check off "Telehealth" for any attendees who joined the group virtually - see screenshot below.

When the checkbox is enabled, it will also be available for selection in reporting, including the Group Notes ReportBuilder, Group Notes Report, Service Contacts ReportBuilder, and when merging group notes into the Progress Notes Report. Additionally, for databases using AWARDS BillingBuilder, a Telehealth (Group Notes) drop-down is available in the billing procedures setup screens, allowing agencies to determine how to bill for groups that offer both in-person and virtual attendance.

Does this sound useful to you? If so, message the Help Desk asking for the option to be enabled, and be sure to note which Program Types in your database you want it turned on for. You can also read more about this and other Group Notes features here.
