73 - Read-only access and announcement banners

Two highly requested improvements and features make it into release 73, read-only access and announcement banners! Who wants all their presents in December anyway… 🎁

Read-only

Read-only access is set in the Concentric admin application and does what it says on the tin. ‘Read-only users’ can see consent episodes within the deployment but cannot create new episodes or make changes to existing episodes. We expect this access level to be widely assigned to those who are involved in the consent pathway but don’t have consent conversations with patients themselves, e.g. ward nurses and theatre staff.

Those with read-only access will see a banner at the top of the page within Concentric:

The current state of the consent episode is shown, but no modifications can be made, for example:

Announcement banners

An announcement is a banner shown at the top of the Concentric application to logged in clinicians. It is usually used to share incident details; for example integration issues, and relevant business continuity information. For example:

Announcement banners are managed from within the Concentric admin application, where announcements can be created, edited, and withdrawn.
