A mental health services agency needed to prove to the state that their employees all had the licenses and certifications required to do their jobs. Previously, the human resources department was tracking this information in an Excel spreadsheet and manually calculating expiration dates, a cumbersome process sometimes prone to inaccuracies. During an audit, they had to pull copies of each file for the auditors to verify information.
To simplify the process, the human resources department began using to track this information. Now, they just run a report for all licenses and certificates that are going to expire soon and send notifications to the employees to remind them to renew. The reports out of Microsoft Dynamics GP met the state credentialing requirements during a recent audit with minimal spot checks against the files.
