What it is

Consented family and caregiver access: an adult child sees a parent’s appointments and medication schedule — exactly the scopes granted, revocable in one tap, every access logged. The family member caring for a patient is screened at a visit on the instrument the clinic names, the score kept as scored; the clinic sets its own cut-off per instrument with its source, and a carer at or above it waits for a referral to one of the clinic’s own respite and support options, each closed on what happened. For an assisted-living home, the care team posts short updates about a resident that the family sees on their link, the home sets its visiting times by weekday with how many visits each takes, and the family books a time from their link instead of turning up; the desk marks them come or not. The monthly statement is the resident’s bill, on the link of a member who may see bills. For a teenager, the clinic’s own policy (the age for each part, with its source; none ships) hands the record from the parent’s Patient App to the young person a part at a time — vaccines and growth, booking visits, the diaries — and the young person sees what is now theirs and may give a part back; a clinician may hold a part with the parent, with the reason, and every step is logged.

How it works

Choose whose circle it isThe Whose circle? card takes a name or an MRN, Search lists the matches, and picking one loads that patient’s members.
Add a member with the consent that was givenName, relation, phone, then tick which of Appointments, Medicines, Reports and Bills they may see and say whether the consent was given verbally, in writing or digitally; the consent check runs in the same transaction as the insert and its record id lands on the row as a not-null column, and a second active member on the same phone number is refused.
Change what one person sees, or revoke themThe scope buttons on an active row toggle that member’s access one scope at a time; taking the last one away is refused. Revoke asks why, stamps the row and withdraws the patient’s consent together; a revoked row cannot go back to active, so re-adding somebody later is a new member and a fresh consent. On Teen handover, set the age at which each part of a dependant’s record passes from the parent to the young person, with its source; the young person can give a part back from their own app, and a clinician can hold one with the parent, with the reason.
Look after the carerOn Carers, screen the family carer on the instrument your clinic names and enter the score as scored; with your clinic’s cut-off set (with its source), a carer at or above it is listed first until you refer them to one of your respite and support options, and each referral is closed on what happened.
Keep a resident’s family closeOn Residents, post a short update the family sees on their link, set the home’s visiting times and how many visits each takes, and mark each booked visit came or not on the day. No family member is shown anything on this desk; their screen is their family link.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not default to full access — every scope is granted individually, and revocation is immediate.

It provides no respite itself, ships no burden instrument or cut-off, decides no age at which a teen’s record passes to them, and shows the family no clinical detail beyond what the patient chose.

Questions clinics ask

What does CareCircle do?

Family access the patient controls, scope by scope — with carer screening and respite, resident updates and booked visits. Consented family and caregiver access: an adult child sees a parent’s appointments and medication schedule — exactly the scopes granted, revocable in one tap, every access logged. The family member caring for a patient is screened at a visit on the instrument the clinic names, the score kept as scored; the clinic sets its own cut-off per instrument with its source, and a carer at or above it waits for a referral to one of the clinic’s own respite and support options, each closed on what happened. For an assisted-living home, the care team posts short updates about a resident that the family sees on their link, the home sets its visiting times by weekday with how many visits each takes, and the family books a time from their link instead of turning up; the desk marks them come or not. The monthly statement is the resident’s bill, on the link of a member who may see bills. For a teenager, the clinic’s own policy (the age for each part, with its source; none ships) hands the record from the parent’s Patient App to the young person a part at a time — vaccines and growth, booking visits, the diaries — and the young person sees what is now theirs and may give a part back; a clinician may hold a part with the parent, with the reason, and every step is logged.

What data does CareCircle read and write?

CareCircle reads consents, the family link and writes grants, access logs, carer screens and respite referrals, resident updates, visiting times and bookings. Its data class is Full PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does CareCircle deliberately not do?

It does not default to full access — every scope is granted individually, and revocation is immediate. It provides no respite itself, ships no burden instrument or cut-off, decides no age at which a teen’s record passes to them, and shows the family no clinical detail beyond what the patient chose.

What happens to our data if we uninstall CareCircle?

All clinical data stays in the record; operational history stays queryable.

Is CareCircle available today?

Yes — CareCircle is live in clinics today. Set up your practice on MedAppz and install it from your dashboard.
