Reading the Timeline

The timeline shows every action taken on an issue, including:

  • Riley's calls and texts — Who was contacted and what was said

  3. Press Cmd+Enter (Mac) or Ctrl+Enter (Windows) to send, or click the send button

Casey will read your comment and adjust accordingly.

Examples of helpful comments:

|---|---|

| Open | Casey is actively working on it |

| Resolved | Successfully completed |

| Transferred to Agency | Casey couldn't resolve it and handed it back to you |

| Cancelled | Issue no longer relevant (e.g., shift was cancelled) |

Needs Attention badge means Casey escalated or created a hand-off for you to review.

Managing Settings

Updating Business Guidelines

Your business guidelines tell Casey how to handle different situations.

  1. Go to SettingsBusiness Guidelines

  2. Click Edit next to the guideline you want to update

  3. Make your changes using clear, specific language

  4. Click Save

Best Practice: Review and update your guidelines based on what you observe Casey doing. If Casey makes a decision you want to change, update the guidelines to reflect your preference.

See the Business Guideline Writing Best Practices guide for detailed guidance.

Managing Caregiver & Client Notes

Keep your EMR data up to date so Casey has accurate information.

In your EMR:

  • Update caregiver availability and preferences

  • Add client care instructions and family preferences

  • Record relationship dynamics (which caregivers work well with which clients)

  • Keep contact information current

Why This Matters: Casey pulls data from your EMR. If information is stale or missing, Casey's decisions will be less effective.

Reviewing Memories

Memories are insights Casey has learned over time.

  1. Go to SettingsMemories

  2. Browse caregiver and client memories

  3. Click any memory to view, edit, or delete

You can:

  • Add new memories based on your knowledge

  • Edit existing memories to improve clarity

  • Delete outdated or incorrect memories
