The Continuing Education (CE) Credit Management functionality of the Next Generation HLC associates CE credit through the HLC for administrator-developed courses that have been identified as appropriate for continuing education designation of credit.
CE credit is awarded by an organization accredited by an accrediting body or through course submission and approval by an approving body.
It is the customer’s responsibility to maintain compliance with the rules, regulations, and guidelines of the accrediting/approving bodies through which the customer provides CE.
Before you begin utilizing the HLC CE Credit Management features, HealthStream recommends that you identify the person or persons within your organization who are responsible for your continuing education programs and program compliance.
Assign the HLC administrator role of CE Credit Manager to those individuals.
Require those individuals to review the Show Me How modules covering CE Credit Management.
Establish ongoing communications among your CE Credit Management team, for example, regularly-scheduled meetings.
Review all accreditation/approval guidelines to determine which features within the CE Credit Management functionality are in compliance with accrediting/approving body guidelines.
Consider removing the CE Credit Management feature access from institution and enterprise administrators who do not have responsibility for or expertise in continuing education. Note however that administrators without access to the CE Credit Management features cannot assign the CE Credit Manager role to others.
