Family members see the parts of a patient’s care the patient chose, on a link of their own, with a monthly care report — and, where agreed, act for them and keep the family history.
Installs with CareCircle, whose screen it works onThe daughter who manages her father’s appointments, the son abroad who wants to know the medicines were collected: CareCircle already records who the patient named and what each may see — appointments, medicines, reports or bills — on the patient’s own consent. FamilyLink gives each of them a link of their own that opens exactly that, read-only, clearly labelled — “You’re viewing Asha’s care as daughter”. The scopes are read fresh on every visit, so narrowing one at the desk narrows the next page load; removing the member from the circle withdraws the consent and ends the link in the same instant. Every view and every download is written to the audit trail against the patient, naming the family member who looked. For a son or daughter abroad, the clinic can put them on a monthly care report: each month it is compiled from the record in exactly their scopes — the visits, the current medicines and the doses the patient ticked, the readings taken — and a nurse or doctor writes the month in their own words before it is sent. It then appears at the top of their family link, kept as sent. Safety at home is for a patient who lives alone: with their agreement the desk sets a daily “I am OK” tap in the Patient App by a time they choose, an SOS button, or both, naming the clinic’s own people who respond and the family from the care circle who should hear. A missed tap or an SOS (with the place the phone gave, or why it could not) rings the named staff’s bell and sends each family responder one message through the clinic’s own messaging, with what was sent or why not kept on the alert; a responder takes it and closes it with what happened. Where the patient (or their guardian) agrees, the clinic records who agreed, how, and which acts a circle member may do for them on the link — tick today’s doses, ask the clinic for an appointment, add to the family history — only inside the scopes the circle already holds; every act is logged under the member’s own name, a ticked dose carries it, and an appointment request waits for the desk to book or decline. The family history is what the family tells — the relative in their words, the condition, the age it began, whether they died and of what — shown to the doctor as family-reported and never checked against a record. The link also carries the home’s updates about a resident and books a visiting time.
