1. Types of events you can create in ABA Matrix

In the image, you can observe the type of event that you can create and its associated icon.

2. Statuses of events created in the calendar

The events within the system go through different states according to their progress: In progress, In Review, Incomplete, Completed, Cancelled and Locked.

Below is information about each of these states.

2.1 In progress

A session will be in "In progress" status from the moment it is created until it is submitted.

Note that it will not go to the next state until the therapist's signature has been captured.

You can identify In progress events in yellow:

Family trainings will remain in this status until signed by the analyst assigned to the case and by the caregiver. Once signed, it will go to the next stage (completed).

RBT and BCaBA Supervisions will be in progress until the event is signed and submitted by the analyst assigned to the case. Once signed, it will go to the next stage (in review by the RBT or BCaBA).

2.2 In review

In review status will appear once the session has been signed and submitted by the therapist (RBT or BCaBA). The analyst assigned to the case must review and sign the note so that it goes to the next state.

Here are examples of how you will identify the status of In review events with green color in the program.

RBT Supervisions will go to "in review" status because once submitted and signed by the analyst, they need to be reviewed and signed by the supervised RBT. Once signed by the RBT, the session will go to the next status (completed).

Same for BCaBA Supervisions, they will go to the next stage once the BCaBA reviews and signs the supervision.

2.3 Incomplete

A session will be"Incomplete" if it was submitted without the caregiver signature. In this status, therapists won't have access to edit the event, and it will remain so until the caregiver signature is collected.

Events in Incomplete status will be identified in the program with a gray color:

Please note that the caregiver signature can be collected at any time after the session start time.

2.4 Completed

The session will be Completed after the analyst assigned to the case has reviewed and signed it. Then it will be ready for billing in the system.

Completed events will be identified in blue:

Analyst sessions will be marked as Completed after they sign and submit them. Their sessions don't need revision.

BCaBA sessions can be reviewed or go straight to completed, depending on the administration

2.5 Locked

Visits will be blocked when they do not meet agency restrictions, and will remain in this status until unlocked by a staff member.

Locked visits will have this pink color.

In the program there are different statuses for the Assessments/ Reassessments, to identify the sessions and their reports. The Assessments/Reassessments Session can be created directly observed with the client, or not.

3.1. Assessments/Reassessments reports

The program has several statuses for Assessments/Reassessments reports: In Progress, In Review, Completed Pending Approval, and Completed.

3.2 In Progress

The report will remain in this state from the time it is created until the analyst signs it and submits it in the system.

3.3. In Review

Once the report is submitted, it will enter a status where it is available for the caregiver to review and sign. The caregiver has the option to sign the report either through the Caregiver portal or directly from the calendar.

3.4 Completed Pending Approval

Once signed, it will go to the status of completed, but pending approval by EQHealth. During this time, analysts will still have access to enter and edit the document.

3.5 Completed

When it is approved by EQHealth, you must manually move it to the Completed status. To do this, you must access the "Assessments" section, locate the report, select the button with the 3 dots located to the right of the Assessment/Reassessment.

3.6 Select the "Set Assessment/Reassessment As Approved" option.

4 Assessment/Reassessment Session (observed with the client)

This type of session will be in "In progress" until it is signed and submitted by the analyst. After signed, it will go to the next stage.

The event will remain in the "Incomplete" status until the caregiver signs the event, once signed, it will go to the next status (Completed).

The caregiver will be able to sign these assessment/reassessment sessions in the same way they sign other events: from the Caregiver portal or the calendar. These will be shown in the program as "Assessment Session" and/or "Reassessment Session", please see the following images.

5 Assessment/Reassessment Session (not observed with the client)

This type of session will be in "In progress" status until it has been signed and submitted by the case analyst.

As these sessions are not conducted directly with the client, the caregiver's signature is not required.

Once the session is signed and sent by the case analyst, the event will move to the next stage (Completed).
