Description
Summary:Health system human resource departments are putting new requirements, paperwork, and processes in place to meet new Joint Commission standards for treating students like employees who onboard at the beginning of employment. These processes have significantly increased the workload of experiential education offices and present an additional burden to students. In an attempt to streamline these processes, health systems are contracting with third-party tracking and placement organizations. Converting this process to an electronic one (such as what third-party organizations offer) could present advantages; however, there are many concerns about going through a third-party organization that could control placement decisions. This commentary describes these concerns and provides guidance to schools should they choose to work with one of these organizations.
