Integration with practice management systems
Concentric provides a seamless consent experience when integrated with other clinical systems such as an electronic health record (EHR) or a practice management system. This page discusses the integration options with practice management systems – typically used by individuals and clinics for private practice.
Benefits of integration
Integrations will commonly include patient demographics, document transfer, launch in patient context, and single sign on (SSO). With these integrations in place, clinicians can jump directly from a patient record in the practice management system to the same patient record in Concentric, utilising the same login, and have completed consent documents automatically return into the practice management system (even when a patient gives consent remotely).
Compared to using Concentric as a standalone system, this removes the need for: manual (error-prone) entry of patient demographic details and storing/remembering a Concentric password, and ensures that consent information is stored alongside other clinical information in the practice management system.

Future integrations
We are committed to increasing the number of practice management systems with which we have seamless integrations.
If you use a practice management system that is not listed above but you are a current Concentric user or are exploring the use of Concentric, we encourage you to share your context with us at support@concentric.health and/or discuss with your practice management system supplier. We will be able to inform you whether there is an active discussion with the supplier regarding integration.
We and the practice management system suppliers tend to wait until there are several users wishing to see a certain integration before committing to integration work. Once there is sufficient demand, we (at Concentric) will tend to undertake this integration at no direct cost to the individual/clinic users, but this may not be the case for the practice management system supplier.
Standalone use and subsequent integration
Where integration with your practice management system is not yet available, Concentric can still be used can still be used as a standalone system, with additional processes such as registering patient details. If an integration between Concentric and your practice management system becomes available, you will be able to add in this integration and maintain the same existing Concentric deployment.
