How do I document clinical competencies, ICU skills, and EHR certifications?
Maintain detailed competency profiles, specialized clinical skills, medical equipment proficiencies, and hospital EHR system certifications (Epic, Cerner).
To manage skills inventories in YourMedSoft, open the clinician profile under Staff Management, navigate to Skills & Competencies, check off verified clinical procedures (e.g., ventilator management, arterial lines, EHR proficiencies like Epic/Cerner), and save the competency profile for advanced scheduling matching.
