| == Issue a Registration ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| When a health worker who has completed a training program applies for registration, the registration application should be recorded in the system and a registration number generated. At the time of registration, the health worker is issued a registration number, which is unique and serves as the person's main identification number. If a person is registered to practice in more than one cadre, the person should receive a unique registration number for each cadre. Registrations can only be recorded by Registration Supervisors or Data Operations Managers (not by Records Officers).
| |
| | |
| # In the person's record click <u>Training Information</u> in the side menu to jump to the "Training Information" section.
| |
| # Click <u>Update Registrations/Licenses</u> beside the appropriate training program. | |
| # The system displays the full details of the training program. Click <u>Registration</u> in the side menu to jump to the "Registration Information" section.
| |
| # Click <u>Add Registration</u>.
| |
| # Enter the '''Registration Number''' or check the box beside "Generate this Number" to assign the next available registration number to the record.
| |
| # Select the registration '''Application Date''' (today's date is entered if nothing is selected).
| |
| # Select the '''Registration Date''' (today's date is entered if nothing is selected).
| |
| # Select whether the '''Practice Type''' is Permanent or Temporary.
| |
| # Click <code>Confirm</code> and confirm that the information entered is correct. If it is not correct, click <code>Edit</code> to change it. If it is, click <code>Save</code> to save it.
| |
| | |
| The system displays the record with the registration added. The health worker is now eligible to receive a license to practice in that cadre (see Issue a License). Once the changes have been made, click <u>Return to Main Record</u> to return to the original page.

| | |
| == Issue a License ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| In most countries, once a health worker has received registration, a license can be issued to that health worker to practice in the cadre. Unlike a registration, licenses expire and must be renewed. Licenses can only be recorded by Registration Supervisors or Data Operations Managers (not by Records Officers).
| |
| | |
| # In the person's record click <u>Training Information</u> in the side menu to jump to the "Training Information" section.
| |
| # Click <u>Update Registrations/Licenses</u> beside the appropriate cadre.
| |
| # The system displays the full details of the cadre. Click <u>License Information</u> in the side menu to jump to the "License Information" section.
| |
| # Click <u>Add License</u>.
| |
| # The Registration Number is assigned as the License Number by default. If the License Number is different, enter the '''License Number''' or check the box beside "Generate this Number" to assign the next available license number to the record.
| |
| # Select the '''Start Date''' for the license (today's date is entered if nothing is selected).
| |
| # Select the '''End Date''', the date when the license expires.
| |
| # Click <code>Confirm</code> and confirm that the information entered is correct. If it is not correct, click <code>Edit</code> to change it. If it is, click <code>Save</code> to save it.
| |
| | |
| The system displays the record with the license added. The health worker is now eligible to renew the license (see Renew a License), receive continuing education credits (see Enter Continuing Education Credits) or apply for a private practice license (see Issue a Private Practice License). Disciplinary notices may also be issued to the health worker (see Document a Disciplinary Action). Once the changes have been made, click <u>Return to Main Record</u> to return to the original page.

If you do not want to add a license after all, click <code>Return (do not save changes)</code>.

| |
| | |
| == Renew a License ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| When a health worker's license to practice expires, the health worker should apply for a license renewal, which is then recorded in the system. License renewals can only be recorded by Registration Supervisors or Data Operations Managers (not by Records Officers).
| |
| | |
| # In the person's record click <u>Training Information</u> in the side menu to jump to the "Training Information" section.
| |
| # Click <u>Update Registrations/Licenses</u> beside the appropriate cadre.
| |
| # The system displays the full details of the cadre. Click <u>License Information</u> in the side menu to jump to the "License Information" section.
| |
| # Click <u>Renew License</u>.
| |
| # The original license number is retained for the renewal. Select the '''Start Date''' for the renewal (today's date is entered if nothing is selected).
| |
| # Select the '''End Date''', the date when the renewal expires.
| |
| # Click <code>Confirm</code> and confirm that the information entered is correct. If it is not correct, click <code>Edit</code> to change it. If it is, click <code>Save</code> to save it.
| |
| | |
| The system displays the record with the renewed license. The previous license is retained in the health worker's license history; click <u>View License History</u> to see all licenses that have been issued to the health worker. Once the changes have been made, click <u>Return to Main Record</u> to return to the original page.
