Description

California's In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program has implemented an Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) solution for IHSS and WPCS providers. This solution allows providers to easily check-in and check-out at the beginning and end of each workday for each recipient they serve. The app guides providers through the process, allowing them to select the recipient, indicate whether they are checking in or out, and specify if they are in the home or community. At the end of the day, the app automatically adds the provider's hours to their IHSS Timesheet. The IHSS EVV app captures the start time, end time, and location of each visit using Location Services, but it does not track the provider during the visit or at any other time. California's IHSS EVV Solution is fully compliant with the st Century Cures Act Federal EVV requirements. It captures important information such as the date, time, and location where the IHSS/WPCS services start and end, as well as the name of the recipient and the location where the visit ends. This ensures that the necessary data is recorded to meet federal regulations. One notable feature of California's IHSS EVV Solution is its ability to capture data even when the user does not have internet connectivity. The app securely stores the encrypted visit information and transmits the data once the user regains internet access. This ensures that data is not lost or compromised due to a lack of internet connection. Overall, California's IHSS EVV Solution provides a user-friendly and compliant method for IHSS and WPCS providers to verify their visits and record important information. With its easy-to-use interface and offline data capture capabilities, this solution streamlines the process for providers while meeting federal requirements.

The android version is terrible. My experience so far: navigating through the app, an error pops up when checking in or out. The background screen goes dark, error pops up, repeatedly tap ok as the pop-up comes back again and again and background screen gets brighter and brighter. And then when I check on a PC, sometimes it doesn't even register. I tried on iPhone and it works well from what I see. App needs fixing.

It's a bit of a nightmare. You have to log in every time you open the app. It's always throwing an error code. It doesn't keep track of hours & and minutes, so you have to calculate it yourself as well as remember the exact time you checked in and type it in, but so far everyday this week, 7/1-7/6, the app said i checked out but it didn't log it so I have had to log in on the website and log all the end times and durations.

Poor design! Stupid app, when it does work, it's just ridiculous! I thought that this was supposed to make everything easier and more streamlined. Fail! You have to check in and out which is fine but it says that it automatically puts your time in on your time sheet yet you still have to calculate your time yourself! I don't know about anyone else but I'm not necessarily going to remember the exact time I checked in to the minute. So calculating time is not going to be reliable.
