Structure of extendedReach
All clients in care are referred to as "Cases" within extendedReach. For each case, extendedReach tracks interactions and supported documentation in two different types of records: “Activities” and “Reports”.
Activities are social work contacts related to a case (such as a visit, email contact, phone contact, appointment, therapy session, etc.).
Reports are documents related to a case. Some have due dates and/or workflow processes (such as intake forms, admission assessments, birth certificates, service plans, etc.).
