Documenting a Client Death

Modified on Mon, 19 May at 1:49 PM

**PLEASE NOTE- Parentheses are not longer allowed in WellSky. Therefore, use a hyphen to separate the last name from the word "deceased."

Please follow these steps to document a client death:

Add -Deceased (hyphen plus the word deceased) to the client’s last name

Click on the Client Profile tab and then click the pencil icon next to Client Record

Exit the client from your project.

The exit date should be the date of death. Reason for Leaving is Death and Destination is Deceased

If rest of household needs exited, exit them separately to correct destination

Add an incident for the client with the date of death

Incidents are located on the Summary tab of the client profile. Click Add New Incident and put the date of death (approximate is okay) as the Start Date.

Email the client ID to the help desk so we can exit them from other projects and notify relevant providers.
