Documentation and Credential Management
Qualifications, registrations and renewals, tracked rather than filed.
What this coversHideHospitals carry a large amount of employee and professional documentation, much of it with expiry dates attached.
- Employee personal records
- Educational documents
- Experience certificates
- Professional qualifications
- Registrations
- Licences
- Certifications
- Identity documents
- Employment documents
- Training records
- Agreements
- Renewal dates
