Self-Serve Portal Guide



Introduction

The Brevity portal is a specialised app for therapists and support coordinators to manage care and records sessions for their clients. Portal users can see a list of clients assigned to them by the Admin and can see client profile information, funding info, documents and care notes all in one place.

They can record session details as billable or non-billable against a budget item from the client profile screen. This will record a timesheet and care note at the same time. The system will not allow recording of billable times outside funded periods or if budget has been fully utilised.

Portal users can schedule planned shifts for their clients and can then add a timesheet/record against it when it is complete, all of these are done in an interactive calendar in the portal, so that they get a better view of when the shifts are scheduled and for which clients, they can change the calendar view to week, fortnight or month to display the shifts and their details.

These are the topics on this page:
