How are you handling Compact State Licenses (OT, PT and RN)?

How are other healthcare customers handling Compact Licenses?

We need to accommodate the following:

Occupational Therapy
Physical Therapy
Registered Nurse

Today, we are simply storing credentials in GHR. We handle primary source verification via an interface with Precheck. We have not configured required credentials for Jobs/Positions. Due to this, we have no experience with configuring equivalencies, etc.

We have thrown around the idea of adding a custom field to denote the compact license and then modify our interface to include this field. We would rather not configure if someone has a better idea.

If it appears this needs an Enhancement Request, I'm more than happy to write it up. Would value any feedback or ideas you have.

Had you given thought to using the delivered Qualification Categories to group your compact state licenses? Presuming you are not already using the Qualification Category for other reasons, you may be able to apply key verbiage in the category description to leverage the interface to update only the relevant credential records. If that option is unavailable to you, a custom checkbox to identify a compact license could be a low-impact option.

Thanks for the idea! After looking into this, it looks like we might be able to meet our initial need to group, but we would not define the job/position credential requirements as granular as we were hoping.

It is looking like we really need an enhancement for equivalent credentials. This will provide a broad solution that impacts Job/Position required credentials, Fit Analysis and other delivered functionality. I've submitted ER 74004 (https://ers.infor.com/Ers/SoHoXi/Request/XiDetails.aspx?ced=true&erID=74004&AER=false&tbv=1)

Update: CU 2021-10 introduces new Qualification functionality that allows configuration of Compact licenses on Credentials.

At this time, the compact/region can be configured on the credential, but the logic behind the scenes regarding equivalency within the compact is not built.

We have also reported that we need the ability to override the Compact indicator at the resource level as the same credential can be issued to a resource with or without the Compact attribute.

We are very eager to hear from other clients who have work arounds for equivalency within the compact.
