IHSS EVV Mobile App vs Path Trex

California’s In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program, Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Solution for Non-Live-In IHSS & WPCS Providers. Non-Live-In IHSS & WPCS providers will check-in at the beginning and check-out at the end of each workday for each Non-Live-In IHSS/WPCS recipient they provide services for with simple easy to use screens. Providers are guided step-by-step to choose the recipient they are working for, if they would like to check-in or check-out, and select if they are in the home or in the community. Additionally, the app will conveniently add the provider’s hours to their IHSS Timesheet at the end of their workday. While the IHSS EVV app captures the start time, end time, and location of the visit using Location Services, it does not track the provider during the visit or at any other time. It simply takes a snapshot of the location when they check-in at the beginning and check-out at the end of each workday. California’s IHSS EVV Solution is in full compliance with the 21st Century Cures Act Federal EVV requirements by capturing: o The date, time, and location where the IHSS/WPCS services start, o The name of the recipient, o The date, time, and location where the IHSS/WPCS services end, and o The location the visit ends. California’s IHSS EVV Solution also allows for complete capturing of data when the user does not have internet connectivity. The IHSS EVV app will store the encrypted visit information and will transmit the data once the user has internet connectivity.

Why use another tracking app? Path Trex does not collect nor share any of your data. You do not have to create an account, you do not have to enter your email, nor enter any information that is linked to you. Location data that is captured during a Trex remains on your device only. It is easy to start using this app, all you have to do is hit the start button then start walking, running, biking, hiking, or off roading with your vehicle. When you are done hit stop, it records your path (on your iPhone only) as you go. You can view this data while still recording or when you done. Path Trex will allow you to enter waypoints on a map then provide the terrain profile of the path you created. Coordinates of the waypoints or your location can be displayed in decimal latitude/longitude, degrees/minutes/seconds latitude longitude, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), or Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). Plotting the terrain profile will allow you to plan on the difficulty of the Path you’ve entered. Path Trex will also follow and record your location (only on your iPhone). As you move your location will be plotted on the map along with plotting your elevation. While Path Trex is following your location your pace or speed, distance traveled, and location (vertical and horizontal) accuracy will be shown. Nothing personal, we don’t want to collect anything about you.
