Master Week Alternative Shifts

Some Master Week schedules alternate from week to week. For example, every other Sunday a different Caregiver might work, or every third week the Patient may receive services in the afternoon instead of the morning. In these situations, the Agency sets the Recurrence of the alternate Master Week schedule. When a recurring alternate Master Week exists, the Master Week rollover process alternates back and forth based on what is set for the recurrence of the alternate week.

 

The system creates scheduled visits starting on the Master Week's From Date and continues for seven days. When the Master Week's From Date is set to a Sunday, scheduled visits start at the beginning of the calendar week, Sunday, and run through the end of the calendar week, Saturday.

 

For example, a Recurrence value of two (2) weeks for a Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday schedule with a From Date of Sunday, April 2nd, creates one week of visits during the calendar week starting April 2nd, and then skips the following calendar week.

A Recurrence value of two (2) weeks for a Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday schedule with a From Date of Saturday, April 1st, creates seven days of visits starting April 1st, and then skips the following seven days.
