    Onboarding

    Optimization readiness

    See which data is enough for the first schedule and which extra fields unlock stronger continuity, efficiency, and diagnostics.

    What this helps you improve

    Optimization readiness is the layer after basic onboarding. Foundation data answers whether Caire can create a first schedule. Optimization readiness shows whether Caire can explain and improve continuity, district matching, time-window flexibility, and cost quality without guessing.

    The goal is to make thousands of small data fields manageable. Caire groups them at the overall level, per resource type, and per client, employee, district, or visit template.

    How Caire uses the information

    When a solution runs, scheduling uses the fields that already exist. If data is missing, diagnostics explain why the result is limited and link back to the exact field that should be updated.

    • Designated and preferred caregivers strengthen continuity scoring.
    • Districts make local capacity and route fit visible.
    • Plan windows and broader allowed windows separate the care-plan signal from optimization flexibility.
    • Inherited employee values make cost, shifts, and start address traceable.

    Before and after in scheduling

    Before completion, Caire can often create a schedule, but recommendations stay broad. After completion, the same schedule can identify the client, visit, or district behind a bottleneck and what should change before the next run.
