Curriculum

The Curriculum screen is used to add, edit and view the curriculum records used in the Education Tracking system. All courses must be assigned to a curriculum, either directly or via a category which is in turn assigned to a curriculum. The curriculum requirements are assigned to employees based on the organization unit, job class or position of their labor distribution assignments. For example, there may be education requirements for all the employees in a facility in the organization (Organization Unit assignment), additional requirements for all RN's (Job Class assignment) in an organization, then additional requirements for the RN's who work in the ICU department (Position requirements).
