Product Updates

New tools for the therapy team.

Every clinician on the care team now opens to what changed since their last visit, chosen for their discipline. Speech, physical, and occupational therapists still assign practice that shows up in the app, leave notes for the family, and add home recommendations.

The ExpressAgain TeamUpdated 3 min read

Updated September 28, 2026: each clinical discipline now opens the care-team dashboard to Since your last visit, a summary for its own focus; every clinical login still reads the whole shared record; clinicians can get one short email a week, the day before a visit; and assigning exercises stays with speech, physical and occupational therapists. (On September 27 we corrected this post: therapists were never limited to their own assignments and notes.)

Recovery doesn't only happen in the therapy room. The work between sessions — the practice, the encouragement, the setup at home — is where a lot of progress is won or lost. So the people guiding that work join the patient's circle: speech, physical, and occupational therapists, and nurses, physicians, hospice and palliative clinicians, chiropractors, community paramedics and home health aides, each with their own code.

What each discipline sees first

A clinician who sees a patient every week wants to know one thing when they sit down: what changed since I was last here. So the care-team dashboard now opens to Since your last visit, a short summary that starts at their last logged visit — a flow sheet visit they wrote, a therapy visit they booked on the schedule, or a visit they logged as a contact. With no visit logged, it counts from the last time they opened the record, and otherwise from the last 7 days. Since your last visit explains the window.

  • Speech therapists: communication use in phrases and counts (never typed text), assignment completion, choking or swallowing entries and meal notes about texture, and confusion and mood entries.
  • Physical therapists: falls, how the patient moved during personal care and the help needed, pain, dizziness, blood pressure and pulse, sleep and fatigue, and exercise assignments.
  • Occupational therapists: personal care, meals and kitchen use, where the family stands on each home recommendation, and falls.
  • Nurses: vitals and glucose with their ranges and how many fell outside the family's targets, doses given, missed and refused, symptoms, and alerts.
  • Physicians: the weekly home summary's line, alerts, medication adherence, and upcoming appointments.
  • Hospice and palliative clinicians: pain, symptoms, sleep, and notes from the team and the family.
  • Chiropractors see pain and mobility; community paramedics see vitals, falls, alerts and the emergency card; a home health aide keeps the start-of-shift checklist first, with the summary below it.

Every line is a count, a range, or what changed, compared only with the targets the family typed. Nothing on it is a diagnosis, and every block links to its full page.

Everyone still reads the whole record

The summary changes what opens first, not what anyone can see. Every clinical login on the care team reads the same shared record — the day plan, medications, Health Tracking, the chart, the team's assignments and notes. The family's private messages, feed, and personal settings are never part of it, by design. Who can see what has the details.

A short email the day before a visit

Each clinician can get one email a week that says how many updates there are for the patient since their last visit, with a button to the dashboard. It arrives the morning before a visit they booked on the schedule, or on Monday when none is booked. It carries no readings, notes, or medication names, and it turns off from the email itself or the Alerts tab. The weekly visit email has the rules.

Assignments for speech, physical, and occupational therapy

  • Assign exercises that appear right on the patient's Practice page, connected to tools they can actually use — speech, physical, and occupational therapists only.
  • Leave notes for the patient and their caregivers, kept separate from the family's private feed — clinical stays clinical.
  • Add home recommendations that appear on the family's Coming Home page, guiding the transition out of the hospital.

A quick note

The care team layer is separate from the Family Circle — different people, different view, same goal: helping one person recover, together.
