Enable your home health agency to support dependent visits where two care resources
cater to the same patient at the same time. Dependent visits provide care continuity to patients
and help improve their overall health outcomes.

To set up dependent visits:
Field Service Admin Permission Set
When your scheduler creates a visit, the Schedule Home Healthcare Visit flow works in the
background and identifies the number of work types associated with the patient’s service
request. Then, the flow automatically determines the number of care resources and the skills
required for the patient’s visit. Accordingly, Home Health schedules either a single visit or
two dependent visits for the same start time and assigns care resources with matching skills.
Your schedulers save the time and effort involved in individually scheduling each visit.
Home Health creates a care service visit record for each visit that also captures the
relationship between the two.
To support dependent visit scheduling, enable Field Service’s Complex Work option. You can use
complex work to link dependent visits together so that multiple resources can cater to a patient
at the same time.
From the App Launcher, find and open the Field Service Admin app, and then click the
Field Service Settings tab.
Click Scheduling, and then make sure General
Logic is selected.
Under Complex Work, select Enable complex work.
Save your changes.
Next, to link the visits, clone and activate the Create Home Visit Dependency flow.
