3 engage: the basics ABOUT ENGAGE Engage enables clients to participate in their service provision through the Workflow and Discussion features in Penelope. In Penelope version and higher, both the Workflow and Discussion features have extended, client-based functionality to allow for two-way communication between staff and their clients. When Engage is installed and enabled and clients have consented to receive communication, staff can initiate -based communication (either a Workflow or Discussion) from Penelope that is sent to the client. Clients are presented with a link to an external-facing webpage where they can either complete a Document or reply to a Discussion. Note that communication via SMS is not supported for Engage. Workflows When the Engage feature is enabled, Client Workflows can be initiated allowing clients to complete Documents outside of Penelope. Client Workflows can occur at the following levels in Penelope: Individual, Case, Service File, and Service Event. Client Workflows can be two types: New Document and Checklist tasks. To have a client complete a Document, you must create a new Client Task and choose which Document(s) the client should complete. When you select a single Document for the client to complete, a New Document task is created; when you select two or more Documents for the client to complete, a Checklist task is created. After you save the task, an communication is sent to the client with a link to complete the assigned Document(s). When the client accesses the link, they will see a list of the Documents they ve been asked to complete. They will also have the ability to ask the staff member a question about the Documents (note that this option will not appear if you have disabled client responses), and the option to refuse to complete the Document(s). Clients are able to respond to a discussion a maximum of three times until the worker replies. If the client chooses to ask a question, they initiate a Discussion that is visible in the Messages section of the associated screen in Penelope. If the client refuses to complete the Document(s), the task is reassigned to the worker and the client will not be able to access the workflow task again. Engage Discussions When the Engage feature is enabled, Client Discussions can be initiated allowing workers and clients to conduct two-way communications. This back-and-forth communication becomes part of the client s clinical record in Penelope. Client discussions can occur at the following levels in Penelope: Individual, Individual Account Summary, Individual Policy, Case, Service File, Service Event, Group, and Group Event. After you save the initial Discussion, an is sent to the client with a link to reply to the message. Clients can then reply to the communication by following the link. Once the client responds, the text is visible from the Messages tab on the screen in Penelope that is associated with the discussion. Clients are able to respond to a discussion a maximum of three times until the worker replies. Note: Any communications that are sent to a client cannot be deleted from Penelope; this includes manually created and Action Trigger-based Notifications, Discussions and Workflows. You also cannot delete Documents completed by a client or a client s response to a Discussion. Consequently, any records (for example, Service File, Individual Profile, etc.) that include client-facing communication cannot be deleted from Penelope. 3

4 configuring engage ABOUT CONFIGURING ENGAGE Although Penelope v and higher are considered Engage-ready, we highly recommend against enabling Engage in a production environment until you have installed Engage v1.0 or higher. If the Penelope components of Engage are enabled in a production environment prior to the installation of Engage, clients with Message Settings enabled could receive s requesting they complete documents and respond to discussions. Until Engage v1.0 has been installed, the links in these s will not be functional. Engage functionality in Penelope has intentionally not been disabled so as to allow agencies to test and train staff on the Penelope side of Engage features in a sandbox environment in advance of the it's release. If your sandbox environment contains a copy of data from a production database and you intend to test Engage functionality in the sandbox, we recommend you consider removing data from Individual Message settings to ensure absolutely no erroneous s are delivered to individuals. Engage configuration must be completed in two sections of the System Administration panel: External Communications and Engage. Configuring is a mandatory component, as the Engage setup section cannot be edited until has been successfully configured. Once you have configured , you will then need to enable Client Delivery in the client Message Settings section and configure additional message settings. Note that if you have previously configured External Communications and enabled client delivery, the Engage feature will be available for configuration immediately upon upgrading. The remainder of the configuration tasks take place in the Engage setup section. You can choose to enable Engage for Client Workflows and/or Discussions. The Engage feature requires an externally accessible URL. The URL entered must include https. Prior to enabling Engage, Penelope tests the link to ensure that it is functional. The Engage status/ping box is there to ensure that everything works if you want to test prior to enabling Engage. This will only work if Engage is up and running at the URL and if Engage can access the database. If the URL is invalid, you cannot enable Engage. PROCESS FLOW: CONFIGURE ENGAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME Note: Although you can configure the Engage feature within Penelope prior to installing the Engage component, you should not enable Engage in a production environment until the standalone Engage components have been installed. 1.

10 managing engage ABOUT MANAGING OR DISABLING ENGAGE In general, we do not recommend disabling the Engage or External Communications features after you have begun using them to communicate with clients. That said, exceptions exist in extreme circumstances such as if your agency is in the process of changing providers. If you need to update or change information about your provider, you should only edit the External Communication settings. Engage will remain enabled, but you will not be able to make changes to the Engage setup or send new Workflow or Discussion communications to clients until the changes are complete. We only recommend making changes to External Communication sessions during off-peak or inactive hours at your agency to avoid interfering with staff sending Workflow or Discussion communications to clients. We highly recommend that you do not disable the Engage feature as this action is irreversible (disabling Engage is considered as clearing the Enable Client Workflows and Enable Client Discussions options). If you disable Engage, all active Workflows and Discussions currently assigned to clients will be reassigned to a worker. Clients will also be removed as followers on the Discussion or Workflow tasks, and cannot be re-added. Both of these outcomes are irreversible. Note that existing Engage Discussions and Workflows will not queue up to be sent out once Engage is re-enabled. Workers will need to create a new Discussion or Workflow to send to their clients.
