Overview: Client Profile

Overview of the client profile in the Giv Dashboard.

Updated today

To access the client’s profile:

  1. Click Clients in the left menu

  2. Search for the client and click Profile

Each tab on the client profile plays a specific role in enabling documentation, care tracking, and reporting.


Dashboard

The dashboard gives an overview of the goals, ratings, medications, and incidents for a client. Each section can be filtered by date range. The sections include:

  • Goal progress & Caregiving rating: track the days goals were logged and caregiver rating

  • Meds Administration: track the days of administration, refusals, and missed days

  • Incidents: track and analyze incidents by type or staff

  • Insights: utilize an AI assistant to analyze goal progress


Basic Info

The Basic Info section is the first information DSPs will see in the mobile app before working with a client. Before a DSP works with a client for the first time, it's been more than 30 days, or any of this information has been updated, the DSP has to acknowledge this information.

The best practice is to add anything you would like your caregivers to know about the client. Keep it clear and concise. If a field is not relevant to your agency or client, leave it blank. This section includes:

  • General Information

  • Health: include relevant medical details

  • About: help staff get to know the individual (e.g., interests, routines, communication preferences)

  • Support: provide guidance on how to best support the client (e.g., preferred calming techniques, behavior triggers)

  • Custom Fields: add any additional information. These fields are created and customized in Feature Settings

  • Geofence Addresses: add addresses associated with the client

To add custom fields:

  1. Click on the dropdown arrow in the top-left corner

  2. Click Feature Settings

  3. Click the Custom Fields tile

  4. Click Manage in the Client Profile tile

  5. Click + Add Field


Client Plans

The Client Plans section is for admins to add and update plans and goals for each client. The DSP will be able to see this information during their shift or after a completed shift. This section includes:

  • Behavior Plans: create Behavior Plans for the client and describe how to follow them

  • Human Rights: document any Human Rights Restrictions (e.g., water consumption limits) to inform DSPs of safety considerations and compliance

  • Goals: add each goal that DSPs should track (e.g., daily living stills, communication efforts, etc)

  • Forms: attach forms to clients for shift documentation (e.g., incident forms, toileting logs, transportation forms). Forms are fully customizable. When these forms are completed during the shift, they are tied to that client

  • Notes: use for shift notes or client-specific admin notes. Notes are focused on internal documentation or compliance tracking. They can be applied to all clients or customized per client

See Customizing Client Plans for more detailed information.

Important: If goals, forms, and notes are not added and assigned to the client plan, DSPs will not be able to log any information during their shift.


Budget

Each client needs to have an active budget in order for DSPs to run a service.

To add a budget:

  1. Click Create Budget +

  2. Fill in the required fields:

    • Service Code (i.e. billing code)

    • Payer (i.e. entity billed for services)

    • Available Units

    • Rate: default rate populates once Service Code is selected, but rate can be individually changed on the client level

    • Start Date and End Date

    • Reference ID (e.g. Authorization number, PCP number, or another state identifier)

    • Restrictions (if any)

  3. Click Save

Important: The client needs an available budget in order for the DSP to clock in and start a service for the client.


Medications

Add all medications, dosages, and administration instructions for the client. If medications are not added in this section, the DSP won’t be able to view or record medication administrations or refusals during their shift.

To add a new medication:

  1. Click Create Medication +

  2. Fill in the required fields:

    • Select the Medication Type

    • Add the Medication name

    • Add the Dosage

    • Add the Specified Route (how the medication is taken, i.e., oral, injection, etc)

    • Add a Description (if desired)

    • Add any Side Effects

    • Upload any images (up to 4)

    • Toggle on “Time varies daily” to send medication reminders to the caregiver. Select the dates and times to push out the reminders. These push notifications alert the DSP when logged into the app.

  3. Click Save

Medication types are typically created during onboarding. Additional medication types can be added by going to Medications in Feature Settings. See Account Overview: Medications.


Charting

View all shift notes submitted by the DSPs and document any additional information. This section includes:

  • Notes: view or add any shift notes

  • Goals: view or log goal progress

  • Medications: view or log any medication administrations or refusals during the shift

Contacts

Add any contacts associated with the client (family members, emergency contacts, guardians, support coordinators, case managers, health professionals, etc).


Caregivers

Add any caregivers that work with the client.


Training Logs

Logs when a caregiver acknowledges the reading and understanding of a client’s Basic Information (for Person Specific Training). This is done by the DSP before their first shift with a client, if it’s been more than 30 days since working with a client, or Basic Info has been updated by the admin team.


Admin Notes

Admins can add notes specific to the client only visible to those with full and admin access.


Settings

Use this tab to archive a client or resync EVV data.


Best Practices

Keep profiles updated

After onboarding, it's up to your agency to regularly review and update client records—especially medications, goals, and forms—to ensure accurate care and compliance.
