Completing the Preceptor Application Process - Credentialing Team

Once these records are approved or denied by the Chair, it will appear in a report 'Preceptors approved/denied by Chairs' for review.

  • If an application is denied, make the necessary changes and if it needs to go back through the approval process, update the Application Status back to "Awaiting Specialty Department Chair Review"
  • If an application is approved:
    • Use [link] to load newly approved Preceptors to eMedley
    • Use [link] to send letters to newly approved Preceptors
    • THEN be sure to use the report 'Preceptors approved/denied by Chairs' to update the 'Application Status' to completed. The system will then generate the 'Credentialing Process Completion Date' automatically. In this report, you can click on 'Enable Field Editing' at the top to select multiple records and save all

Submitting for re-appointment - Credentialing Team

A list of those ready for re-appointment can be found on a Contact view, 'Preceptors Ready for re-appointment'. From here, the credentialer can select one or more records and check the 'Send for Preceptor Re-Appointment' OR this can be done on each individual record under the Application Process section of the Contact. 

Once this is selected, the system will send an email to the Preceptor requesting that they complete the re-appointment form and will populate the date it was sent to them. It will then uncheck the flag so it is available for resend when needed.

You can also monitor the view, 'Preceptor waiting for re-appointment', this list is of all Preceptors where the email has been sent for re-appointment but still waiting on them to complete the re-application.

Once the Preceptor completes the re-appointment application, the above processes occur to pull documentation and route for appproval.
