The Client Summary is a quick reference to important data points; it can focus users on completing important data entry while making the data easier to interpret. These data points can be presented using custom report fields and graphs in an interface similar to the Form Designer. CAREWare presents the Client Summary to users when they first open a client record.

 

Note: Users can create several Client Summaries in CAREWare. Only one can be active for a provider at a time.

To create, edit, and view Client Summaries, permissions need to be granted in CAREWare for Central Administration, the provider, and the user. To grant permissions for users, follow the instructions here. Grant the permissions View Client Summaries to allow users to view the summary. Grant the permission Edit Client Summaries to allow users to create new summaries or make changes to a summaries design.

Follow these instructions to create a Client Summary:

1. Click Administrative Options.
2. Click Custom Features.
3. Click Client Summary Designer.
