ByErin Carlin

Function Portal is Amcord’s own data entry system. Here you will update all your client’s information, complete sessions to document all of your work, upload necessary documents, and schedule visits. All of a client’s previous sessions can be accessed in Function Portal, allowing you to monitor their continuity of care.

Login:

  • Link to Function Portal
  • Username: “first initial.last name”
  • Password: 
    • “first 4 letters of last name + last 4 digits of SSN”
      • **First letter is capitalized**

The Dashboard is a summary of important information pertaining to your assigned client caseload.

Calendar of Events

Displays sessions as well as upcoming, past due, and scheduled contacts

Each “dot” represents a different session or contact. The colors each have their own meaning.

**Note: the calendar is updated/changed frequently, therefore the color meanings may change w/o notice**

  • Red – Past due contacts; whether or not they are scheduled. 
    • Once these contacts are completed the red dots will either change color or be deleted automatically. 
  • Yellow/Orange – Upcoming due or scheduled visits/contacts
  • Green – Scheduled contact that is within its compliance date
  • Blue:
    • Past blue dots are submitted billable sessions
    • Future blue dots are upcoming due Monthly Contacts

    • Represented in 2 ways:
      1. Written – Beneath the participant’s name it will say if the participant is eligible for the month or not
      2. Colors – At the top of each client’s box there is a color representing Eligibility and activity
        • Green – Eligible and active
        • Orange – Eligible, but is “UTL” or Unable to Locate

Eligibility is important because Billable work/sessions CAN NOT be submitted for Ineligible participants. 

If your participant is Ineligible, notify your supervisor. Only non-billable sessions should be submitted.
