API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
Mosaic provides and out of the box set of generic APIs that can be used to provide third party systems bi-directional access to Mosaic.

Mosaic has a number of SOAP and REST APIs. They offer the ability to create and search for people, retrieve demographic, budget information, care timetables, organisations and workers, send and receive alerts as well as providing an integration point for workflow and e-forms. Users set up the service by making calls to the APIs that allow creations. They make changes by calling APIs that identify the record to be updated then submit their changes via the APIs that permit updates.

There are no particular limitations on how users can set up and use the APIs other than calls made must obviously pass appropriate authentication and the business rules that the APIs enforce.

Customisation available

Description of customisation
All the Mosaic workflows and forms are fully configurable to meet any specific local requirements to ensure that the system reflects local best practice. If any changes to Mosaic’s standard configuration are needed, our consultants will work closely with you during the implementation of the system to define and input these changes.

Mosaic has been designed to maximise the flexibility for our customers to manage, edit, add to or amend code tables with little to no intervention from Access. We provide all customers with the ability to locally configure reference data (code) tables where the worker has the appropriate system permissions without our involvement.
With every new installation of Mosaic, there is a full suite of forms in the Customer Led Configuration (CLC) designed to meet the requirements of business processes. These forms are all available and accessed via the Template Manager Tool and are all fully configurable by system administrators.

Mosaic’s Template Manager Tool allows sites to edit, amend and delete SC forms or to create their own forms for use within the system. The template manager tool contains a version control system so previous versions of forms are stored and amended if required.

Equal opportunity

We want everyone to feel at home at Access, knowing that they are valued for what they do, not who they are. We want people to feel that they truly belong here regardless of their age, gender, race, sexual orientation, or anything else that makes them individual; after all, if we were all the same it would be a pretty dull place. We love the fact that we’re all different. Having more diverse perspectives at work improves how we run our business, helps us support our customers, and when you think about it, it's just more fun. For us, this all starts with helping everyone feel part of the family and being at their best every day, making Access a place where everyone can love what they do and do what they love. We all have regular check-ins with our leaders, take part in monthly employee surveys, have lots of chances to share our views and ask for help, and with our own learning system, 'Access Shine', we really can make things even better each and every day. At Access we'll always hire the best candidate but we're continually looking for creative ways to increase the mix of diverse candidates into our recruitment process. On the basis that you ‘have to see it, to be it’, one thing we're doing is sharing more stories to celebrate the wonderful diverse range of talent we have at Access. It is important for us that our employees understand and reflect the customers and communities we support, and we want everyone to feel at home here, knowing that they are valued for what they do, not who they are. We want people to feel that they truly belong here regardless of their age, gender, race, sexual orientation, or anything else that makes them individual.
