Credentially has automated regular checking of staff members against the US Nursys database. Reduce time spent on performing nurse license checks by enrolling the staff member’s license and receive automated updates on all of the changes on the license.

Firstly, add the integration as a mandatory compliance requirement in the compliance package. Go to “Organization’s settings” -> “Compliance Requirements” -> choose the package and add the “Nursys e-Notify” integration in the Checks section of compliance requirements.

Add Nursys License

Once added, the licenses will be automatically checked in the supported integration WEEKLY.

TOP TIP: You can manually verify the license every 24 hours.

Default administrators can add and review the Nursys e-Notify checks. If you need other administrative roles to be able to add licenses and review them, you will need to grant them the “Professional Registration” permissions in “Organization’s Settings” -> “Roles Management”.

You may find the following Nursys License Results:

Approve Nursys license

Based on the conducted check result you can approve the “Nursys e-Notify” part of the compliance package in one click.

Nursys View Checks History

You can see the Nursys check history ("Professional registration" -> "Nursys E-Notify" -> "View History") to get details on updates that may happen to a Nursys license.

If in the "View History" you find the update details saying "License information was verified", it means there has been no change to the previous license information.

If you see the "License information was updated" update, it means there was at least one change since the initial check. And you can drill down to further details ("View Details") to see the Nursys license check result as of the date when a result was verified.

Top tip: If you decide to remove monitoring of a Nursys license for a particular staff member, we recommend that you first save the historic results by clicking "Print" -> "Save as PDF" -> add this report to user's "Documents" tab as "Nursys License Verification Report". It will help to have an evidence of historic checks in case of an audit.

Notification for changed Nursys license status

If the status of the Nursys License changes due to some updates in the practising history of a staff member, you will instantly get the notification and the checkbox in the staff member’s dashboard will be unchecked and the package compliance recalculated.

You will need to review the changed status and approve it in the staff members' dashboard by ticking the “Nursys e-Notify” checkbox.

In addition to the separate Nursys Notification which is sent momentarily, every morning you will receive a Non-Compliant digest with the list of all staff members who have become non-compliant during the previous day either due to the changed Nursys License or expired compliance documents.

TOP TIP: To set notifying preferences regarding the “Non-Compliance Digest”, go to “My profile” -> “Notifications Settings” (in the bottom left-hand corner) -> Compliance.

Nursys Tags

  • No Nursys License. There is no active Nursys License associated with the Staff Member on Credentially.

  • Nursys Alert. This means you need to check the Nursys License result and approve it in a Staff Member’s Dashboard.
