Hot Topics
- SCOMM: Checking and responding
- All staff are encouraged to check their SCOMM in Therap regularly, at least once per shift. When you log in on either the app or browser, you should be able to see when there are unread messages.
- Staff can also setup email/texting profiles as well to be alerted when there are important emails. Please see the training here if you are unsure how to setup alerts. https://www.abilitychoice.org/media/training_therap-notifications.php
- Documentation: Reviewing the questions listed in each task, and answer accordingly
- Therap Daily Log: What you did, what they did, strength/barriers?
- Goals: Accurately and timely complete goals each shift
- If Therap is unavailable, take notes on paper and transfer to Therap ASAP
- Be on time for your shifts!
- For Day Program shifts, only clock in when you are ready and able to start your shift (inside the building in your work area or staff office area, have your coffee, personal belongings put away and ready to accept directions or assignments). Do not clock in/out from your car.
- When done for the day, clock out, do not interrupt others who may still be working.
- For remote shifts, clock in only at remote work locations (SL/SE) when you are ready to start the shift at the location. Clock out before you leave the location.
