Credential Types and Credentials

Understanding Credentials and Credential Types

Credentials are the individual qualifications, licenses, or trainings that are required for employees in your practice. Behavior Technician, BCBA, and RBT are credentials that are pre-populated into your system as they are commonly used.

Credential Types are the “grouping” of the credentials you may have in your practice. Education, HR Compliance, Professional, and Training are credential types that are pre-populated into your system and should capture a broad range of credentials.

Why are Credentials important to set up in your Rethink account?

Funder Services + Billing Code:

  • Restricting by professional credential who can provide what services

Staff Member Profile > License/Certifications:

  • Assigning licenses/credentials to staff profiles

 

  • Staff Member Credentials can be used in funder setup to restrict by professional credential who can provide each service as a way for Rethink to block anyone who is not credentialed to provide that service from accidently being scheduled

  • Staff Member Credentials will be added to Staff Member profiles with the option of entering an expiration date in order for Rethink to provide warnings when a credential will expire

Credentials in Roles & Permissions

 

To set up specific permissions regarding Credentials, go to Company Account>Roles, Click Edit Permissions under the appropriate Role and scroll down to Staff Member Info

 

  • Users with “View” permission can only View Staff Credentials

  • Users with “Edit" permission can Add, Edit, and Delete Staff Credentials

  • Users with “Dismiss Credential Warnings” can dismiss warnings when their credential will expire in 30 days or has already expired. Once a credential warning has been dismissed, the system will no longer flag an expiring or expired credential

Credentials in Funder Setup

To set up specific funder rules based on credentials, go to Company Account>Funders, click View next to the appropriate funder, click Edit, and then scroll down to Scheduling Rules
