CHANGED
Trainings: We have added expert responses to Advanced Child Welfare I and II! CBTp now has a data download in the admin training dashboard.
Behind the Scenes: A substantial project was implemented to help with periodic caching issues for some users. This project spanned both QI and Training platforms. There's also a lot of work behind the scenes to give programs information about time spent in training so that certificates and CEUs can be accurately awarded!
QI Session Upload Dialogue: Users will notice a change in the visual aspect of the session upload. We have updated the date and time pickers components and brought them into the style and design used in the rest of the platform.
PATCHED
QI Session Playback: A rare error that blocked session view rendering for audio only files was resolved.
Data Download Date Filters: Some users where running into instances where the data download on the QI platform did *not* cover the entirety of the date span selected. This has been corrected.
Crisis Report - Active Listening: There was a misspelling in a reference to the Active Listening percentage shown in the crisis report. This is has been corrected and the displayed Active Listening bar no longer defaults to an empty value.

ADDED
Trainings: CBT Fundamentals and DBT have been added to the training offerings with AI Feedback.
CHANGED

Expert responses continue to be added to trainings as well. This release includes expert responses for our current Advanced Child Welfare offerings.
PATCHED

The download functionality has been re-written to accommodate downloads for larger enterprises. Admin can also now choose a timeframe for which to execute the download.
PATCHED
MI Report Labels: There were several labels at the bottom of the MI Report tab that had been hidden. This issue has been resolved.

July 2024 - Released on 08.27.2024

It also offers cleaner delineations between programs for user who are part of multiple programs. Training cards have been redesigned to include images of the instructors, which helps with quick identification as well.
Tooltips: Across the platform we have transition from the older dark themed tooltips to a more modern light theme. The changes have also dramatically improved accessibility of each tooltip.

Spanish Pipeline: Our language processing pipeline can handle both Spanish and English, or a combination of the two. That being said, primarily Spanish sessions may have reduced metric availability as we continue to build out a robust Spanish language analysis. If a session is marked as being greater than 25% Spanish, you'll see a notification on the top of the page.
CHANGED
Data Visualization: Small styling tweaks in our data visualization chart were made.
AI Feedback in Trainings: Several of our trainings already have AI feedback. As newer trainings come out we'll be releasing them in two phases: phase one includes all training content, vignettes, and recording; phase two will incorporate AI feedback. Notifications have been added to the training platform so you should always know which phase of a training we are in!
PATCHED

Training Platform: There was a bug encountered during use of the breadcrumb navigation that prevented updates to completion metrics on the landing page. This bug has been resolved.

JANUARY 2024 - Released on 01.09.2024
ADDED
Advanced Child Welfare MI Modules: Our MI Training has been expanded through the addition of 4 more client vignettes for each module. The new expansion is focused on practicing MI in the context of Advanced Child Welfare.
Crisis Tab in Reports: A new report tab is available for use! Our current tabs of General, MI, and CBT specific metrics now has a a Crisis tab as well. The Crisis tab includes components of good contact (things like active listening and empathy), standard suicide risk assessment, client statements about suicide risk, and other key elements including discussion of alcohol and other drug use.

NOTE: Customer IDs are not yet supported in batch functionality.

DECEMBER 2023 - Released on 12.17.2023
ADDED
Improved User Training Completion Feedback: We have included new visual cues in the training platform to communicate to the user if they have recorded a response that meets the definitions of the module. Vignettes are now either marker as not watched, watched, attempted, or completed.
CHANGED
Media Playback in Training Platform: We have improved the user experience of our media player in the training platform. Users can now smooth scroll the media scrubber. Seeking of media can occur whether the media is playing or not. The player can also be manipulated through keyboard usage, making it more accessible.
PATCHED
Partial Recording Bug (aka Sleepiness Bug): Some users reported instances of in-person recordings only being partially captured. The underlying issue was determined to be if a user's computer either sleeps or (more commonly) enters into lock-screen during the session. We have added some reinforcements in our recording code that check for this at time of occurrence and make sure to recover whatever the user's computer and web browser will give us from when the sleepiness and/or lock screen was active.
To avoid any issues, it is recommended that a user disable sleep/lock features for the duration of the recording.
NOTE: We can only guarantee video recording if the computer is awake and unlocked.
OCTOBER 2023 - HotFix Released on 12.11.2023
PATCHED
Training Dashboard Recording Ability: Recording for some vignettes was disabled based on the most recent recording being prior to a program's desired expiry policy.

ADDED
Adaptive Video Frame Rate Selection: when a recording is initiated, our recorder will request lower frame rates over connections with lower upload speeds.

Temporary Login Flow: a new flow has been put in place for temporary login (password reset). The user will receive an email with a link. Once clicked on, the link will direct the user to the appropriate page and ask for confirmation they are ready to log-in. This is to prevent email providers from automatically previewing, thus invalidating, the single-use link.

Peer Group Assignments: a bug was preventing peer group assignments from being available for a small number of users.

Data Visualization: we resolved instances where the data visualization chart was not resizing correctly in some scenarios. We also fixed a parsing issue that prevented some special characters from appearing as expected.

Data Visualization: we been working on this one for a while, and now it's ready for our users! The data visualization chart has been super-charged under the hood to make data available as quickly as possible. You'll also notice bubbles are either filled in or left empty. Filled in bubble represent "active" sessions; these are session that are not yet expired in accordance with your program data retention option. Empty bubbles have expired so you cannot click into them, but you can still see their data in the chart!
Report View: rating scale language in the CBT Tab of the report view has been updated.
User Management: administrators will now see a Single Sign-On (SSO) indicator next to therapists/supervisors/admin who have *not* yet activated their account via SSO.

Administrator Training Tab: the training tab will only be present in the admin view if a program is using MI training and has requested data download capability.
Supervisee Session Sorting: a previous update change the way supervisees and their sessions were ordered on the page. We have reverted the sorting back to a previous state so that supervisor will see newer sessions on top. Thanks for reaching out and letting us know that was helpful for you!
Supervisee Session Drawers: a bug was causes supervisee drawers to collapse when clicked in certain spots.
Notes: we've added some refinements in the way the notes tool works.
