- Human Resources Database: The AMS allows users to input
demographical data on each employee. The data includes: department, home
address and phone number, and e-mail address. Having all of this
information in one location is convenient and time saving.
- Educational Registration Software: AMS has the capability to
enter educational events that were being held within organizations. The
"Events" module of the system allows users to register employees and
non-employees in live educational events. Each live event that an
employee completes is automatically placed in their education record.
- Professional Licensure and Certification Tracking: AMS has
the ability to track licenses and certifications. The "TrackIt" module
allows users to track any renewable or annual requirements (i.e. nursing
licenses, CPR certifications and TB skin tests) ; print reports of
individuals that have required renewals sorted by month and year ; and
print reports that allow the system administrator to see when everyone
with that requirement is due for renewal These are automatically added
to the employee's education record, which allows the system
administrator to print out an employee's record during a survey (JCAHO).
- Education Record-Keeping System: The AMS can run reports
regarding the progress of those registered in careLearning.com
courses. It also has other educational tracking abilities including:
-
- Reports that could be sorted by individual, department, job category
or renewal date (i.e. birth date or anniversary date)
- Reports that list only the courses an employee has not completed
- Reports that show only careLearning.com courses
- Reports that include the courses registered through the "Events"
module and information from the "TrackIt" module, as well as careLearning.com
courses
The AMS is a time-saving tool for hospitals
and health systems across the country. One of the greatest benefits of
this system is that is comes free of charge with the Health and Safety
Compliance series subscription.
