Course Description

The Communications Directory/Coordinator Certification course provides a comprehensive review of the Health Commerce System Communications Directory, the underlying records that make up the directory, and the tools all HCS users can use to access the directory.

This 1.5 hour course will begin by examining the structure of the directory and differentiating between the actual contact information records stored for each person in the directory, and the facilities and roles those records can be associated with.

At the conclusion of this course learners will be able to: 

• List the components of the Communications Directory 
• Summarize how the components are related and work together 
• Summarize the HCS emergency call down procedure, describing the role the Communications Directory plays 
• Identify the all-user Communications Directory tools
