Client List and Service Records

Keeps a current list of every client for each licensed category of service, with the details the rule requires and every service delivered directly or under contract, and a dated record of each service given, so the office and an HHSC surveyor can see who is served, by whom, and when.

In short

  • Fill in the visit record before you leave: your times in and out and each task you did.
  • If the client’s program uses EVV, clock in and out in the EVV system at every visit.
  • Write down any task you did not do and why. Get paper visit records to the office within seven days.
  • Fix a mistake with one line through it, plus the date and your initials. Never use correction fluid.
  • Tell the office the same day if a client goes into the hospital, moves, or wants services to stop or change.
