Update Client Employment Information in the ‘Occupation’ Field

When current employment information is entered in the Occupation field in SCRAMNET, we are able to better determine the client’s actions and environment during an alert. This will save time and frustration for both you, and your client by reducing the number of calls you make to question your client’s actions.

To Update Employment Information:

Choose the Client tab,  then choose the Employment sub-tab. Please update the client’s occupation, description of the work environment, and most importantly, the client’s work schedule.

Employment Information

Every customer has unique operational needs and SCRAM Systems strives to meet those needs whenever possible. To this end, we are expanding the types of alerts that you can choose to include in the Daily Action Plan (DAP) that you receive each morning. In addition to the CAM alerts that are included by default, the Remote Breath (RB) alerts displayed on the RB Results page can also be included on the DAP.

RB Alerts on the Daily Action Plan Report

Potential Time-Saver

Adding Remote Breath alerts enables you to use the DAP as a starting point to address CAM and RB alerts that require some type of action on your part. This allows you to easily see the RB alerts you need to work before logging into SCRAMNET, which saves you precious processing time.

Something to Consider: 500 Max

If you are interested in activating this new feature, please note that a maximum of 500 RB alerts can appear on the DAP. If your RB Results page has not been managed for some time and you have a high number of alerts, you may want to reduce the alert count to a more manageable level before enabling this feature on the DAP report.

If you elect to enable this feature and there are more than 500 alerts listed on the RB Results page, only the most recent 500 alerts will be included in the DAP. As you work alerts and they drop off the DAP report, older alerts will “backfill” the completed ones overnight each night, until all the outstanding alerts on the RB Results page have been addressed.

Activate Feature (Administrator only)

To activate this feature so RB alerts appear on the DAP, an administrator must access the Setup DAP page in SCRAMNET and select the Include Remote Breath Alerts check box, as shown below.

Awaiting Return vs. Pending Removal

When it is time to discharge a client from the SCRAM CAM program, be sure you have a clear understanding of the status in which you should place the equipment.

Awaiting Return

If the bracelet or base station is NOT on-hand, select Stop Monitoring and complete the Stop Monitoring process to set the status to Awaiting Return. This status ends the monitoring program and stops the billing associated with it. The bracelet will remain in this status until it is checked in or until 30 days elapses, at which time it will automatically move to Lost status.

Pending Removal

If you will be completing the Stop Monitoring process with the client in person and the equipment is on-hand, select Stop Monitoring and complete the Stop Monitoring process to set the status to Pending Removal. This status prepares the bracelet for final connection with the Direct Connect device and application, and monitoring and billing both continue until the Direct Connect process is complete and the bracelet moves to In Inventory status.

As you know, when a SCRAM CAM® Bracelet and Wireless Base Station (WBS) are checked in without you having one or both devices in hand, you set the status of those devices to “Awaiting Return.” However, because the WBS continues to communicate via a wireless network with SCRAMNET®, the device automatically sets its status to “In Inventory” the next time it communicates, which requires you to manually change the status back to “Awaiting Return.”

With this release, the WBS will no longer communicate when set to the “Awaiting Return” status. Consequently, the WBS will stay in that status until you retrieve the device and manually change the status to “In Inventory” yourself, or 30 days elapses at which time the device status is automatically set to “Lost.”

To allow you to manually set a returned WBS to “In Inventory”, a new Move to Inventory link will appear on the client’s Equipment page when the device is set to “Awaiting Return”, as shown below. When you click the link, the device is returned to inventory and is removed from the client’s Equipment page.

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
