Category:  Change Request / Operations / Calls&Visits

Originator:  Mitchell, Al             

Priority:  Low

Issue:
I would like to explore more how we might use the Call/Visit log in conjunction 
with the 3 and 6 month followups we will do for BC Housing.  Have hit snag 
though that while the Lookup Tables allows me to add several relevant 
Call/Visit Types, neither thse nor the 4 exisiting selections show up in the 
Call/Visit details screen - there is a text field for `Nature of Call/Visit' - 
which could be useful, but where do those selections appear?  If I could add a 
wish-for here, I'd like to make a case for being able to call the 
`Questionaire' set from the Call/Visit log as I'm sure a lot of places that 
might use Call/Visits could find Calls & Visits combine with getting 
questionaires done.
 
One particular reason I'd like to see either a link between the Calls/Visits or 
maybe we have to try to have people record a call/Visit when we carry out 
follow-up is that Questionaires are not listed on the `Client History' set of 
tables, but `Calls/Visits' are, and I am thinking thr role of that `Client 
History' should work out as Daryl argued for years ago with people checking 
stuff there.  They won't find out what happened in detail with any 
questionaire, but if it is recorded as a `Call/Visit' and we can get the 
pick-list problem above fixed, we can know it happened.  I also favor using the 
memo field at Call/Visit for any general notes the person needs to make that 
are extra to the particular questionaire filled out.  
 
Biggie: on the Call/Visit details, I think it could be really useful to have a 
field that simply notes (Y/N) that further followup is required.  Might not 
hurt to be able to input a date for `Follow-up after', which then could give us 
something to readily trigger further action, or reports etc.  Daryl will work 
us up the report tools to list  who generally needs followup, but a field 
letting the worker who has talked with the person set up something particular 
for the future, along with any notes someone doing that followup might need 
would be a big help here I'm thinking.

Further to this, I have made the discovery CallS&Visits does not either 
`Inactive' nor `Barred' clients.  This may, at least in respect of barred 
people, affect how we do followup  (barred from shelter won't preclude 
follow-up).  
 
If we track follow-up through Goods & Services we CAN add to the records for a 
barred person - but problem will remain of the Goods & Services part becoming 
quite `busy'.  We still have to enter BOTH a `good' and a `Service' at the same 
time for any entry to get saved, which is going to create a lot of superfluous 
stuff to be able to save the points of service we need.
