Service Categories
Service Categories determine which forms the service is displayed on. These attributes of a Service Code are used to filter them for specific purposes. For example, the Referral Service Code drop-down list on the Referral form only displays Services Codes marked as such. The Service Categories are as follows:
|
Direct Services |
Services that are provided directly to the Client by the Organization. Direct Services are always associated with specific Client records. |
| Scheduled Services | Services that occur on a specific schedule and can only be categorized as such if they are a Direct Service. |
| Indirect Services | Services provided where the receiving Client is not identified. Indirect Services are commonly used to track outreach efforts (number of brochures distributed) and community education events (number of people attending). |
| Referral Services | Services that may be provided by Organizations or Programs different from those the User is a part of. |
|
Pre-Entry/Post Exit Services |
Allows the Service Code to be selected for a Client even when the Client is not actively enrolled on the Service date. |
| Contract Services | Allows ClientTrack to track contracts with Providers for the provision of this Service. Only Service Codes with the contract property can be used for this purpose. |
| Lab Services | Services that appear in drop-down lists on lab orders and lab results forms. |
| Time-Entry Services | Allows for the Service Code to be selected on a time entry form. |
| Billing Services | Services that can be used for direct or third-party billing. Allows the Service Code to be used with the Billing functionality in ClientTrack. |
