CAM Client Interactions – Best Practices

Below are some helpful tips to assist your team in maintaining the integrity of your monitoring program. Please contact SCRAM Customer Service for questions or if any assistance is needed.

Document, Document, Document

We recommend agents document each and every client interaction* – whether in-person or over the phone – in SCRAMNET®. This will promote clarity when preparing client updates.
*Examples include bill payments, maintenance, phone discussions, etc.

Inspect the Equipment

Each time the client is in the office, regardless of the reason, inspect the bracelet.

  • Wake bracelet with magnet until you see the green light illuminate to ensure the bracelet powers up.
  • Check the fit of the bracelet to ensure it is properly tethered and is not loose enough to slide over the heel of the foot.
  • Visually inspect bracelet body, straps, and buckle for pry marks, scratches, and/or signs of tamper or removal.
  • Move tamper clips side-to-side with your fingers to ensure they are still securely fastened and have no visible signs of removal.

Alerts & Maintenance

Check the Alerts tab in SCRAMNET to see if client has any pending alerts that require additional information.

If the client will be away for an extended period, consider performing maintenance on the device to avoid near-future maintenance alerts from generating.

To properly reinitialize the bracelet:

  1. Be sure to use the Maintenance link on the Equipment page first,
  2. Perform physical maintenance second, and
  3. Direct Connect the bracelet on the client’s leg last

To facilitate efficient processing of specific SCRAM CAM® alert types, a new 30-Day Maintenance Alerts report is being made available in SCRAMNET®. The report, available at the Service Provider level for Admin-level users and sorted by caseload, lists all current and upcoming CAM maintenance alerts for the next 30 days.

In the example below, Peter Collins has a bracelet assigned that needs the battery and faceplate replaced. Viewing this report, you see that the bracelet is also scheduled for a maintenance replacement in the next few weeks. Knowing this, you can have the client come in for a bracelet replacement…saving you the cost of needlessly replacing the battery and faceplate when the bracelet itself is scheduled to be replaced in the near future. By having this complete picture, you will have reduced the number of times the client must be called in to meet with you in a very short time period.

To run the report, click the Reports -> Inventory sub-tab, select the 30 Day Maintenance Alerts option, and click the View Report button.

A new Courtesy Reminder Opt Outs report is now available for each caseload in SCRAMNET®. This report lists all SCRAM Remote Breath® clients who elected to opt out of receiving courtesy reminders that assist those clients with performing each breath test at the scheduled time.

To access the report:

  1. Access the caseload in SCRAMNET.
  2. Click the Reports tab.
  3. Select the Courtesy Reminder Opt Outs option in the left report list.
  4. Click the View Report button.

All active SCRAM Remote Breath clients in the caseload who have ever opted out of receiving courtesy reminders will appear on the report.

The second page of the report will list each client with an associated phone number that resulted in an “Undeliverable” message being generated when a courtesy reminder was sent.
