Workflow Review Prep

Find Where Staff Time and Travel Are Being Lost.

Before a TRACKtech workflow review, use this guide to identify where your team is spending time on manual follow-up, travel, documentation, reminders, check-ins, reporting, and participant outreach.

The goal is not to guess at savings. It is to find the work.

Most agencies already know their teams are stretched. The harder part is showing exactly where the time is going.

Before your workflow review, look at the daily tasks your staff repeat across supervision, reentry, recovery, fieldwork, and community-based programs. Calls. Reminders. Office visits. Field travel. Document chasing. Missed appointments. Manual notes. Mileage logs. Reports. Follow-up after alerts.

TRACKtech can help map those workflows and identify where technology may reduce manual work, unnecessary travel, and documentation rework.

Six areas where staff time is often hidden.

Review these areas with your team before the workflow review. Even rough estimates help create a more productive conversation.

1

Manual Follow-Up

  • How many calls, texts, or emails does staff send each week for reminders?
  • How much time is spent confirming appointments, treatment attendance, check-ins, or required activities?
  • How often does staff follow up because someone missed a basic requirement?

Examples: Appointment reminders, treatment reminders, curfew reminders, document reminders, missed check-ins, unanswered calls.

2

Travel and Field Time

  • How many trips are made for routine verification or follow-up?
  • How much staff time is spent driving?
  • Which visits could potentially be handled through remote check-ins, video contact, document exchange, or mobile accountability?
  • How much mileage is reimbursed each month?

Examples: Office check-ins, home visits, document drop-offs, routine compliance verification, travel between field contacts.

3

Document Collection

  • How often does staff chase missing documents?
  • How are documents currently collected?
  • How much time is spent scanning, uploading, filing, or correcting paperwork?
  • Which documents are most commonly missing or late?

Examples: IDs, releases, referrals, treatment verification, employment documents, housing forms, consent forms, court/program paperwork.

4

Reporting and Documentation

  • How much time is spent preparing reports?
  • How much documentation happens after the fact?
  • How often do supervisors need to reconstruct what happened?
  • Are staff actions, participant responses, timestamps, and follow-up steps easy to review?

Examples: Case notes, activity logs, violation/supporting documentation, attendance reports, alert follow-up, supervisor review.

5

Missed Appointments and No-Shows

  • How many appointments, sessions, or required contacts are missed each month?
  • What happens after a missed contact?
  • How quickly does staff know?
  • How much time is spent rescheduling or re-engaging the person?

Examples: Treatment sessions, office appointments, court reminders, reentry appointments, check-ins, case-plan milestones.

6

Staff Visibility and Escalation

  • Can supervisors see who needs attention today?
  • How are urgent issues escalated?
  • How does staff know who has gone quiet?
  • Where are alerts, outreach, and follow-up documented?

Examples: Missed check-ins, lack of response, location questions, safety concerns, uncompleted tasks, documents not submitted.

Bring These Numbers If You Have Them

You do not need perfect data. Even rough estimates help create a better workflow review.

  • Number of staff involved
  • Average caseload per staff member
  • Manual follow-up hours per week
  • Average calls/texts/emails per week
  • Office check-ins per week
  • Field visits per week
  • Average travel hours per week
  • Average mileage per month
  • Missed appointments or no-shows per month
  • Time spent preparing reports per week
  • Time spent chasing documents per week
  • Time spent on mileage logs or reimbursement review
  • Most common documentation gaps
  • Most common follow-up bottlenecks

How TRACKtech Uses This Information

During the workflow review, TRACKtech can help map your current process and identify where technology may support:

  • Automated reminders and check-ins
  • Reduced manual follow-up
  • Remote accountability workflows
  • Secure document exchange
  • Mass messaging
  • Video interaction
  • Staff visibility
  • Alert and escalation workflows
  • Cleaner reporting
  • Better activity history
  • Reduced travel for routine contacts
Important: This review is designed to identify potential operational savings based on your agency's current workflow. It is not a guarantee of savings, staffing reduction, compliance improvement, or outcome improvement.

A Better Review Starts With the Real Workflow.

The most useful workflow reviews are not generic demos. They start with the work your staff are already doing every day.

Bring the friction. Bring the bottlenecks. Bring the places where staff are still relying on calls, spreadsheets, paper logs, manual reminders, drive time, and after-the-fact documentation.

TRACKtech will help map where the work is happening now and where the workflow can be improved.
