CareChamp - How Service Location is Captured

Location Tracking & EVV Compliance

Watch Video 🎥Location and Notification

It is extremely important to allow your device to capture your visit location. This ensures compliance with EVV (Electronic Visit Verification) requirements.

Barnestorm assures you that your GPS location is only tracked when you tap Start Visit and Finish in the CareChamp app. Your location is not tracked at any other time.

Q: I was told my GPS location isn’t being captured, but it shows as enabled on my phone.
A: If you’ve denied location access several times, it may have permanently disabled GPS for the app. You’ll need to reset location permissions. See this help article for steps:

CareChamp - Forgot to Clock Out of Visit

Forgot to Clock Out

If you forget to clock out of a previous visit, the CareChamp app offers a built-in safeguard.

When you clock in for your next visit, the previous visit will automatically clock out.
This feature is only active if the missed visit is between 1 and 4 days old.

Why use this feature?

It captures GPS coordinates to help keep you in compliance with EVV.

Office staff should avoid completing the visit in office if this process will take place.

The call should be placed using the patient's home phone to help with EVV compliance.

🕐 Step 1: Upon Arrival

Call your Barnestorm-assigned telephony number using the patient’s main phone line to clock in.

Listen to the recording to verify the visit has started.

Note: The patient’s phone number must be correct in Barnestorm. Contact your office if it has changed.

📋 Step 2: Complete Your Visit

Carry out your visit as you normally would.

📞 Step 3: When Visit is Finished

Using the same phone you used to start the visit, call the Barnestorm telephony number again to clock out.

Listen to the recording to verify the visit has ended.
