To support the completion of the annual Data Security Protection Toolkit self-assessment, new password standards have been enforced across all CareDocs platforms to help promote good password practice, which will aid in answering two questions in the assessment:<\/p>
Any users with passwords that don’t meet the new standards will be prompted to update when they log in. At a minimum, all passwords must now:<\/p>
As we approach the release of our brand new CareDocs mobile application, we are adding more security features to protect service user data. In v4.8.3, we have introduced a new method of controlling mobile device access.\u00a0CareDocs Management Portal<\/a> users now have the authority to approve or deny access to new devices.<\/span><\/p> We have implemented a second new feature to the Management Portal that allows administrators to completely disable web application access for all staff users. For example, CareDocs Cloud Portal<\/a> and the upcoming CareDocs mobile application.<\/p> This function can be especially useful in the rare event of a data security breach.\u00a0By temporarily restricting CareDocs access to just the desktop application, you can ensure nobody is accessing service user information on a mobile device until the situation is resolved.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Following customer feedback, we have added six new event types to the Daily Notes<\/a> section to record emergency visits from external healthcare professionals. This will help create more specific and consistent records and make it easier to locate historic events.<\/p> The new event category is titled Emergency and contains the events: The ‘Consent for Vaccination’ form has been renamed ‘Consent for a Record of Vaccinations’. With this update, you can now record when a vaccination was administered and enter additional supportive information into the same form. This allows for more efficient records, which also makes reporting more comprehensive.<\/p> The revised form gives you the ability to record one vaccination type per form by selecting a specific vaccine or booster from a drop-down list.\u00a0<\/span>The vaccines and boosters you are able to select from include:<\/span><\/p> \u2022 COVID-19 Vaccine You can use this form in conjunction with the \u2018Capacity Assessment and Best Interest Checklist\u2019 form to establish whether or not the service user has the mental capacity to consent to vaccinations.<\/p> A new supporting report titled ‘Consent for and Record of Vaccination Report’ has been created to display information recorded in the form a single report.\u00a0Information which displays in the report includes:<\/span><\/p> \u2022 Date of Vaccination A new form titled ‘Individual Behaviour of Concern Incident and ABC’ has been created to record service user concerns and incidents. It can be used in addition to the existing suite of behaviour-related forms in CareDocs.<\/p> The form contains guidance that will help you define an appropriate level of concern (between 0-10) for incidents relating to self-injurious behaviour, aggression toward others and destruction. This can support in identifying patterns or triggers in behaviours that could potentially prevent the incident from occurring or escalating.<\/span><\/p> To help increase efficiency, we have added the ability to grant access to mobile platforms (e.g. CareDocs Cloud Portal) directly from the ‘Add New Staff Member’ form. Ticking the new ‘Mobile Enabled’ checkbox will automatically generate a portal user name and enable access to the respective online portal.<\/p> New system users will be able to log straight into CareDocs Mobile \/ CareDocs Cloud Portal if the aforementioned \u2018Mobile Enabled\u2019 checkbox is ticked.<\/p> This update features security enhancements to support answering the Data Security Protection Toolkit (DSPT) assessment, as well as new and improved daily notes, forms and reporting tools We\u2019re excited to announce that v4.8.3 is now ready to download. Our latest software release introduces greater default password standards across all CareDocs platforms.\u00a0 Following customer feedback, new […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":20164,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDisable access to portals for all users<\/h4>
