Group Add in AASC Online
Just a reminder that Group add is a great way to chose a group of members for the same Progress Notes, if they are either participating (active case) or non-participating members. Also, can be used only for participating member’s to enter group Resident Service Logs for many members who received the same service, and for Cost Savings. If you enter anything on Group Add, you can only edit these or delete on the Group Add functions. And that would be better than editing one at a time!

How to add program attendance… the right way!
Even though the AASC Online manual “highly” recommends we add group resident service logs for each member who attended our workshop using the resident service log group-add function… some your attendees may not be clients, and we do not enter service logs for members who are not SC clients. So, what’s the solution?
1. Group add a Progress Note for your educational workshops. The Progress Notes, if they are not attached to a Service Log, should not skew your AASC Online statistics.
Then,
2. Group add a Service Log for the clients (members receiving services from you) who attended the educational workshops.
Voila!

FAQs on AASC Online
1. When we are providing referrals to members, is it appropriate to use multiple service logs for one date/interaction with a member, if multiple referrals were given?
When you are providing multiple referrals to members, it is appropriate to use multiple service logs so that each one gets recorded.
2. What types of activities/meetings would count as a time “Meeting with Management Staff,” under the Daily log (meetings with liaison and council)?
Meetings with Management Staff will include:
– your monthly meetings with your Liaison, FCRC chair, Education chair, and Activities chair (remember to do these in a common area so that members know that you aren’t discussing private information)
– attending council, general, or floor meetings at the co-op
– CSI training (like the certification training we’ll have on Tuesday)
