Care Review Meeting Scheduling

Q: Can the automation handle meetings that need to be rescheduled?

The automation reads clinician assignments from your resident records and uses that information to query the correct calendars and send invites.

About This Automation

Care review meeting scheduling requires staff to manually check resident records, contact families and clinicians, coordinate availability, and create calendar invites. This fragmented process is time-consuming and often results in missed reminders and low family attendance rates.

Automation monitors resident records for upcoming reviews, retrieves contact details, queries clinician availability, sends meeting proposals to families, and creates calendar invites automatically. The result is faster scheduling, higher family confirmation rates, and fewer no-shows.

Key features:

Monitor resident records for upcoming care reviews automatically

Retrieve family and clinician contact details from existing records

Query clinician calendars to identify available meeting times

Send personalized meeting proposals to family members

Create and distribute calendar invites to all attendees

Send reminder messages before scheduled meetings

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Care Review Due Date Detectedtrigger

The automation checks the resident management system daily for residents with a care review due within 14 days. When a match is found, the process starts automatically.

2. Fetch Resident and Family Data

The automation retrieves the resident name, family contact details, assigned clinician, and any special meeting requirements from the source system and stores them for use in the next steps.

3. Query Clinician Availability

The automation checks the assigned clinician's for available 60-minute slots in the next 7 to 10 days and generates a list of three to five options.

4. Send Meeting Proposal to Family

The automation sends an email to the family member with the resident name, three proposed meeting times, and a link to confirm their preferred slot. The email is personalized with the family member's name.

5. Create Calendar Invite

Once the family member confirms their preferred time, the automation creates a calendar invite and adds the resident, family member, clinician, and care coordinator as attendees.

6. Log Meeting in Resident Record

The automation records the meeting date, time, attendees, and confirmation status in the resident management spreadsheet to create an audit trail.

7. Send Reminder Messages

Two days before the meeting, the automation sends a reminder email to the family member and an SMS reminder to their phone number, confirming the meeting details and location.
