# Participant Data Setup

## **Participant Information - Updated on each Participant Profile**

There are a few key inputs that the CareMaster Roster Optimiser uses from the Participant Profile to match the best skilled, most efficient, cost effective and available Worker to any supports.


Here is a brief demonstration of the required Worker Data inputs:

### **Address Verification**

The Roster Optimiser uses the Participant Address as a key data point when selecting a worker. It is important that the Participant’s address be verified on their profile.  


* An address can be added and verified either when you set the Participant up initially or in the Contact Information on their Profile page.

### **Locations**

Multiple Locations can be applied.

**Unsuitable Workers**

On the Participant Profile, go to Service Delivery Information and Locations.

Add in one or multiple as they may cross different skill locations.

### **Space Types**

Space Types help match Participants with the right Workers. You can select a Space Type on both the Participant and Worker profiles. The Roster Optimiser will check for matches when recommending workers.

**Examples:**

* Male Workers Only
* Wheelchair
* Back Seat Only
* Low Car
* Guide Dog
* Visually Impaired

🛠 **To create new Space Types:** Go to **Data → Participant Data → Space Types**.


### Medication Assistance

If the participant requires medication assistance, the Roster Optimiser will only recommend workers with the appropriate qualifications to perform this task.

This setting is found in Participant Profile → Service Delivery Information.
