The client batch exports feature allows organizations to export clinical records pertaining to multiple clients and visits at once. Once you select which sections, clients, and visits you wish to include in the batch, the system will launch a background job to generate a zip folder that you can then download with the individual client chart PDFs for each client in the batch.
To view past batch exports and create a new batch, go to Clients>Client Charts.
On the client batch export page, you will see a list of all previously generated batches for clients listed with the batch ID, batch name, batch category, creation date, selected visits date range, employee who created the batch, total clients included in the batch, and batch status.
To generate a new batch, click create new batch.
In the create new batch dialogue, enter a batch name.
You have the option to select an existing batch category from the dropdown or enter a new one. Batch categories can be used to organize batch exports according to your organization’s needs.
Choose the PDF naming format for each PDF that will be generated as part of the batch. The option currently available is Batch ID + AlayaCare Client ID.
Finally, choose the start and end dates that you wish to include client records for. Only records entered during these dates or tied to visits during this time frame will be included in the batch. Note that the start and end dates must be within 365 days of each other.
When you are ready, click apply to batch to proceed.
On the next page, you can select which sections and subsections you wish to include in the PDFs that will be generated as part of the batch. The available sections are header/footer, cover page, care plan, date summary, service task details, client forms, and visit attachments.
