COLUMBUS, Ohio 鈥� The (CAPCE) and the announced an update to the CAPCE Import Tool, streamlining course submission for recertification and improving accuracy.
When a clinician imports a CAPCE-approved course, the system automatically assigns it to the correct NCCP domains (airway, cardiology, trauma, medical or operations), . The remaining credits are efficiently distributed to other domains as needed.
鈥淭his will make the National Recertification process much easier and quicker for clinicians by automatically assigning the CAPCE-approved course to the needed domain and removing any guesswork,鈥� National Registry CEO Bill Seifarth said. 鈥淭his is one of the features clinicians have asked for the most, and we are happy to work with CAPCE to deliver it.鈥�
This new feature supports selecting one or multiple CAPCE courses from their transcript, with the system automatically assigning them to the appropriate NCCP domains. While manual overrides are possible, tests by CAPCE and the National Registry show that they will rarely be necessary, the news release said.
鈥淏y mapping CAPCE courses to the appropriate NCCP domains, we have eliminated one of the biggest hurdles in the National Registry recertification process,鈥� CAPCE Executive Director Jay Scott said. 鈥淲e made big advancements in 2018 with the automatic import of courses to the National Registry and this takes us to the next level in assisting EMS clinicians. Collectively, we hope this upgrade in the data sharing process between CAPCE and NREMT makes the recertification process easier and more efficient.鈥�
The new feature is one of several upgrades designed to streamline the recertification process, the news release said.
