Management Tool

The management tool allows CHAI Hospice managers to add patients and users to CHAI and control which patients belong to each team and which users can work with those teams. Additionally, you can see overdue tasks and download form entries in bulk for each patient.


How to Access the Management App

After logging into CHAI Hospice, you can access the management app by clicking on the User Management Icon at the right-hand side of the header.

Once you reach the management app, you can bookmark that page if you want to go there directly in the future.

You can return to CHAI Hospice by clicking on the logo at the bottom right of the footer.


Note: The management app organises your users and clients into a structured group of teams. Ordinary users may be granted with team or group manager roles to assist with management.

View the following pages for a more extensive explanation of these structures that are not covered in this guide:
