Cases, Budgets and Sub Budgets

Similar to Nookal, The BOS stores the following data and it relates as follows:

Term Example Relation Description
Client
(aka Patient)
"Kim K"
A person
Case "Back Pain" Each case belongs to one client.
A client can have multiple cases.
A condition being treated.
A client can have multiple cases for different conditions.
Payer "5 session Medicare" or
"$1500 NDIS"
Each payer belongs to one case.
A case can have multiple payers (with same or different contacts)
Each payer has one contact (EG: 'DVA', 'NDIA'). 
Tracks budgets, approved sessions, expiry dates and more. 

Contact "DVA", "NDIS", or <PatientName> if self managed Multiple payers for different patients can have the same contact.  A contact is who pays the invoices.
SubBudget Category "EP", "Dietician"
Created in Nookal settings. Allows Payer budgets to be split (EG: by profession)
SubBudget "$500 EP for Kim" A payer with a budget can be split into separate subbudgets. Often all the budget is allocated to a single subbudget.  

We have the following reports available which report on different areas:

Report Description Useful for
Client Info Page

Accessible by hovering over a client name anywhere in The BOS. 
Shows all appointments, invoices, cases etc for the client. 

Funded Sessions Report Reports on Payers (EG: if a client has two payers then both will appear as separate items, if they have no payers they won't appear).  Finding payers with sessions/budget remaining or that are expiring soon. 
SubBudget Report Reports on all subbudgets. 
For simplicity: if a subbudget has zero allocated and zero spent it will not appear. 
Finding subbudgets that have been underspent (budget remaining) or overspent.
