At 9:30 PM MDT on July 13, 2020, SCRAM Systems® will introduce several new enhancements to the SCRAM Nexus® caseload management system that make it easier to use. These enhancements include:

  • A new Pending Intake status and associated filter for client management
  • New “Alert” and “Success” banners
  • Updated labels on the Office Visit screen tabs
  • An increase to the ‘Note’ size to 10,000 characters
  • The ability to change past appointment dates
  • A new “My Staff” view on the Supervisor Report tab (for supervisors)

New ‘Pending Intake’ Status

Clients who are active in Nexus but not assigned to a model will now be listed as ‘Pending Intake,’ and will be separate from active clients who are being monitored, as well as inactive clients who are no longer being supervised. This helps officers organize their clients and better represents the status of each client. This new status will appear both as a filter on the officer’s Clients tab, as well as a status on client’s Profile tab.

New “Alert” and “Success” Banners

New Alert and Success banners will display in the top-right corner of the screen after an action is completed. Alert (or Error) banners will disappear automatically after 30 seconds. Success banners will show for five seconds before disappearing automatically. Hovering your mouse pointer over either banner will cause them to remain on-screen longer.

The updated tabs are:

  3. Review: Shows list of pending client actions as well as “Activity Progress.” Will surface items completed since last visit.
  4. Notes: Provides officer open text box to capture meeting narrative as well as displays prior notations made for that client.
  5. Next Office Visit: Automatically populates with the scheduled next appointment date, though all the fields are editable, so the client and officer can confirm or reschedule a different time for the next meeting

Additional Client Enhancements:

  • Longer Notes – up to 10,000 characters in length – are now supported in Nexus. This includes notes on Activities, Treatment Provider Notes, Sanction/Incentive Notes, and General Notes. Critical Notes are still limited to 500 characters.
  • Record/Change past appointment dates: When an officer records an on-demand appointment (Drug Test, Office Visit, Supervised Appointment, Sanction, or Incentive) the officer may select any date for that appointment between Jan 1, 1900 and today’s date.

New ‘My Staff’ View on the Supervisor Report

Supervisors who access the Supervisor Report will now have a My Staff view that will filter the officer data to show only their direct reports . If a Supervisor wishes to see more data than their immediate staff, the Supervisor can go to the ‘Agency’ view and data will be displayed for all officers.

Overview:

This Release includes a couple of very exciting new features:

  • Browser Notifications for SCRAM TouchPoint™ Messages
  • The addition of Client Directives

Officer: TouchPoint Message Browser Notifications

As an officer, you now can opt-in to receive Browser Notifications from SCRAM Nexus®. This will allow you to be notified when you have new TouchPoint messages, even if you do not have Nexus visible on a screen.

The next time you log into Nexus, you will be asked to “Allow” notifications on the browser that you are logged in with. This feature works on all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Edge to name a few). If you are not prompted to “Allow” notifications, you can manually do this by clicking on your user initials in the upper right corner and select “Allow Notifications”.

Once the notifications are enabled, you can send yourself a test message.

Client: Track Client Directives

As an Officer, you now can assign Client Directives. Client Directives differ from Client Tasks in that directives can be used to easily track recurring instructions. For example, “Bring in your time-sheet every 2 weeks” or “Turn in AA Attendance Sheet”. Directives have a start dates, due dates, and can track when the client successfully completed or failed to complete the directive.

Administrators of Nexus can add Directives to the Condition Catalog and to a Model. Directives can then be assigned to a client through the Supervision Plan. An Officer can add a Directive to a Client’s Supervision Plan from the Activity list, or they can create a Custom Directive for the client. The officer will need to indicate whether the directive will be a one-time or a recurring event and enter in a date that the directive is due. Officers can also indicate whether the directives will require a behavior response based on the outcome of the directive. If a response is required, Nexus will automatically recommend an incentive or sanction upon completion (or incompletion) of the Directive.

Effective June 18, 2020, SCRAM Systems® will implement a software enhancement that will improve your visibility of new documents shared by clients who are active for the SCRAM TouchPoint Documents service in SCRAMNET OPTIX™.  Additionally, we have streamlined the client’s experience with updates to the Documents and Check-In services for the SCRAM TouchPoint™ smartphone app, which should be available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play store within the next week.

These changes will take effect once clients have updated the SCRAM TouchPoint app on their smartphones.

Update to Documents page in SCRAMNET OPTIX

With this new update, you will now be able to identify new images shared by the client. Once a new image is received, the name of the image will display in a bold font, and a badge to the right of the image name will display as New. Once the image is selected and viewed, the text will display in a normal font and the New badge disappears.

Updates to the SCRAM TouchPoint Application

Documents Tile

With this new update, we have streamlined the client’s experience to help eliminate confusion after uploading an image to the SCRAM TouchPoint app and then locating and sharing the image. After the client has updated the app, once an image is uploaded; the screen will automatically display the My Documents tab, which will allow the client to select the ellipsis and share the document as normal.  

Only iPhone images are shown for this example. For a full list of instruction on Uploading and Sharing a document for both Android and iPhone, visit the Client Instructions page on SCRAMNET OPTIX Help.

Client Check-In Location Services

With this update, the client is now required to have Location Services turned on for the app or they will not be able to complete a check-in. If the Location Services are turned off, once the client taps the Check-In tile within the app, they will be prompted to turn on the Location Services on their smartphone.

To enable the Location Services, have the client:

  1. Select the Settings icon on their smartphone.
  2. Select the SCRAM TouchPoint app.
  3. Select the Location option.
  4. Select the option of “While Using the App”.

Once completed, the client can navigate back to the SCRAM TouchPoint app and complete their check-in.

Only iPhone images are shown for this example. For a full list of troubleshooting steps for both Android and iPhone visit the SCRAMNET OPTIX Help page.

SCRAM Systems released enhancements for the SCRAM TouchPoint mobile application to the Apple App Store and the Google Play store on Monday, March 30, 2020. Corresponding enhancements were released for the SCRAMNET Optix™ platform on the same day. The enhancements are as follows:

  • Client Check-In Face ID and Fingerprint Verification (in the TouchPoint app)
  • Client Check-In Biometric Results (Optix)
  • EM Reminders Read Receipt (Optix)

New Client Check-In Face ID and Fingerprint ID Verification

In order to begin each TouchPoint Client Check-In, clients will be required to provide a passed Face ID or Fingerprint ID, if this feature is supported by their phones (see flyer entitled SCRAM TouchPoint Supported Smartphones). The pass/failed outcome is based on the security setting for each individual’s smartphone. Clients will need to ensure the app is updated to enable this feature.

iPhone: Face ID or Fingerprint IDAndroid: Fingerprint ID Only

If clients are unable to provide a passed Face ID or Fingerprint verification after 3 to 5 attempts, they are still able to complete the check-in by tapping the Cancel option. This will result in a Biometric Verification Unsuccessful result.

New Client Check-In Biometric Results

With the addition of Face ID and Fingerprint authentication, you will be alerted to a failed Biometric result on the client’s Check-In History page, as well as view the Biometric Verification details for your client on the Check-In Details page.

Biometrics on Check-In History Page

EM Reminders Read Receipt

With this new enhancement, once a client enabled for EM Reminders opens the TouchPoint app and views the EM Reminders notification, a Read Receipt will be visible on the EM Reminders page for that client.
