Getting started: Goals

Client engagement is one of the most important factors in driving client success. Receiving personalized recommendations, ongoing support, and real-time feedback allow clients to make ongoing changes towards a healthier life. One way to promote client engagement, and success, is by collaborating with clients to create realistic, and achievable wellness goals. Setting wellness goals with your clients provides them with the actions they need to take, and the direction they need to move in.

Overview: Goal Setting in Healthie

With Healthie's Goal Setting Feature, wellness providers and clients can:

Create daily, weekly and one-time goals (and subgoals) for clients
Visit a client's chart to see all current, and past, goals
Monitor a client's success by seeing goal completion rates for each day, and each goal
From their client portal, clients can check off completed goals or subgoals
Clients can receive in-app or email reminders to complete goals, and wellness providers can adjust the frequency of these notifications
Be motivated towards consistently achieving goal completion streaks

How to create a new goal

Click on the Goals tab of a client's Healthie profile. By default, both providers and clients have the ability to create a goal.
Click "Create Goal" and a goal creation tool will appear
Fill in your goal details (or apply a past favorite goal to auto-fill)
To save, hit the blue "Create Goal" button.

For your convenience, we've included several "Preset" goals that can help you get started, called "Goal Favorites" Feel free to select these goals, and modify them for your client-base.

Modify an existing goal

To edit an existing goal:

You'll automatically see a list of all active goals for the current day.
For the goal you want to modify, click the 3 dots under "Actions" > EDIT

To edit a goal that isn't visible for the current date (ie a future goal), use the date picker to select your desired date range (ie. for the entire month). You'll now see a list of all the goals active during that date range. Modify any of the goals listed, and be sure to click "Update Goal" at the bottom of the screen when done.

Delete an existing goal

To delete an existing goal:

Navigate to your client's chart and then click on the "Goals" tab
Find the goal you'd like to delete. On the right-hand side click the 3 dots under "Actions" > DELETE
