🥳 Celebrating one hundred releases!
So what’s in release 100? Search ‘concentric releases’ for full details, but it feels true to form, one key update for clinicians and patients, another for our project teams, both iterative and intuitive, and landing overnight without drama.
An expanded set of specialties: Within Concentric, users are assigned a specialty, primarily to inform the admin application’s usage metrics. Until now, the specialties available were a bespoke list created for our first deployment, and a distinctly surgical one at that. As a result, admin users have often struggled to appropriately assign large cohorts of users, particularly across medical specialties, leading to limited reporting within those specialties. This release aligns Concentric with the national structure for specialties, using main specialty (MSC) and treatment function (TFC) codes, which brings with it a much wider range of options.
Editing episodes after sharing for remote consent: The ability to edit an episode after it has been locked – either because it has been shared with a patient for remote consent, or because consent has been given – has been one of the most frequent requests from clinicians. Whilst locking is appropriate in both cases, the inability to make even minor amendments from that point has meant that episodes have frequently needed to be deleted and recreated, causing frustration for clinicians and confusion for patients. From this release, an episode shared for remote consent, where consent has not yet been given, can be unlocked for editing using the new ‘Edit’ option in its action bar.

Thank you to everyone who has engaged with us as we work out what to build, refine, reconsider, and leave alone. Here’s to the next hundred.
