This year, we had some tricky and expensive situations that related to practitioners:
Not submitting their Ax reports to Monarch (and if they did, they were poor quality).
Not seeing kids for many weeks in a row
As a result, we needed to replace the practitioners, credit the customers, and also lose a lot of service hours. In all situations, the customer raised concerns.
Customer Credits: About $140K
American Samoa
Multiple BC customers
Account Manager - Karoline
Dani, Michele, Audra, Liz and Karoline invested so many hours to resolve this.
Loss of Hours - 3 months
NESD
The therapist just didn't see kids that needed it (for example - one student had nothing since November)
The therapist only showed up for about an hour in April and then stopped services, with the reports not done. We offered a replacement OT for May and June, but the customer is so concerned about the quality so far that she declined.

What if:
Practitioners only receive payment for assessments once the report is uploaded?
What if there were alerts if a student missed two weeks in a row?
What else would help us to catch severe issues before the customer raises them?
Thanks for considering all of this. Michele M would be a helpful resource as she was involved in helping to resolve the issues for customer credits.
Thanks for sharing this, Marnee. We'll look into it.
Another case study - e.g. pay assessment hours once the report is uploaded.
Subject: Outstanding Ed Psych Report – La Vida Charter
Hello Team,
I received a call from Lav Vida Charter regarding an Educational Psychology assessment and report requested by the parents' lawyer. I brought Janessa onto the call to assist with locating the report.
It appears that although the assessment was completed and paid for in February, the practitioner never submitted the report. Understandably, the customer is extremely frustrated. I am currently working with Janessa to address the issue.
