Students are required to complete this training initially during orientation and then renew annually during the fall quarter for the entire time they are enrolled as students at Platt College. The competency is required to be documented in the areas of HIPAA, bloodborne pathogens and prevention of infection, and cultural sensitivity or as determined by the Alliance for Clinical Education (ACE) and/or clinical agency affiliates. This competency is accomplished through the completion of quizzes with a benchmark of 80% or higher. Students who do not reach the benchmark will be required to retake the quiz(zes) to reach the competency benchmark. All students must upload the Annual Regulatory Quizzes Certificate of Completion in Complio on or before January 1 of the upcoming year, which serves as the annual expiration date.

Prior to the start of each clinical rotation, compliance documentation for each student is verified through Complio, a cloud-based document management service provided through American Data Bank.  Compliance Officers at Complio verify compliance documentation necessary for students to attend their clinical learning experience. Once approved, compliance documentation is maintained in Complio. Approved compliance documentation is linked into a student’s My Clinical Exchange account to attest compliance to attend a clinical rotation. It is the student’s responsibility to link their Complio account to their My Clinical Exchange Account. 

• Acceptable Document: Documents submitted to Complio must have a physician or provider’s name typed or stamped on the compliance documentation. 
• Rejected Document: Written documentation is not validated nor accepted by Complio.  Written documents might include, but is not limited to: a physician or provider’s handwritten notes or attestations.  Documents are not accepted if the compliance officer at Complio is unable to read the document or results.  Students should ensure that uploaded documents are clear and readable.  Requirements to validate compliance are based upon requirements from the Colorado Health Care organizations, educational institutions and regulatory agencies. 

Students should enter the first day of your first terms as your program the start date.  For example, if the first day of class for the quarter is September 11, 2020, then that is date to be used.  The program start date can be found on the back of a student’s Platt College ID.  

The Orientation Document and Consent Form for simulation will need to be uploaded by Friday at midnight MST of week 3 of a student’s 2^nd quarter in the program during simulation orientation.

Compliance status is achieved when all of the compliant categories have been approved. It takes at a minimum 48 to 72 hours for submitted documentation to be approved. Students must have an overall compliant status to be placed in a nursing class and clinical rotation. The overall status must be compliant at the beginning of week eight of each term for students to be registered into a nursing course and scheduled for a clinical rotation the following quarter. Click on the links to the left under FAQs to see the week-by-week timeline for clinical compliance for each quarter. Simulation documentation is completed with SIM team in Simulation Orientation beginning second quarter

*Forms and other information available at https://www.plattcolorado.edu/policies/clinical-and-simulation-compliance

Students are on a leave of absence (LOA) from the College are still responsible for being fully compliant in Complio according to the timeline above prior to the week eight cutoff date to ensure clinical/simulation placement upon their return.

Students are notified through their College email at four intervals in advance by Complio regarding their compliance documentation for student clinical placements that are due to expire.  The interval notifications are sent 60 days, 30 days, 1 week, and the day of expiration for clinical compliance. Students’ records must be uploaded and approved in Complio by the Friday of the 7^th week of every quarter in order to be eligible for the subsequent quarter’s clinical/simulation rotations. Students’ overall status in Complio should state “compliant” in order to be in good standing. 

The following items are reviewed by Complio in order to comply with Joint Commission Standard HR .1.20; FERPA (Federal Law ‐ 20 U.S.C. 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99) and the Affiliation Agreement prior to beginning orientation or patient care in the clinical setting:

Students are required to submit the items below by their specific due date in Complio and My Clinical Exchange. If the student does not meet all of the requirements below and/or documentation has not been approved within Complio and My Clinical Exchange by the due date, they will be unable to attend clinical. This may result in a course being removed from your schedule for the following quarter or a clinical failure, which may result in an overall course failure.  Students must be compliant in Complio with the following components; however, My Clincal Exchange may include site-specific documents that must also be complete by the stated due date.  In addition, clinical sites may require mandatory additional training and orientation prior to, or during, clinical rotation.  These dates, if applicable, will be communicated to the student upon availability, as these dates vary by clinical site.

Note: As a college of nursing in which students must complete part of their program requirements in clinical settings, Platt College requires that all enrolled students are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. An individual is considered fully vaccinated 14 days after the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccination. For more information regarding COVID-19 vaccination requirements, visit Policy 02:27:00 Student COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements

Students will not be allowed to enroll in courses if they are not compliant with the requirements set forth in this policy. The Associate Dean in collaboration with the Clinical Placement Coordinator will notify the Registrar of student compliance status at the intervals stated above. Students whose health documents expire during the quarter while they are enrolled in a nursing course with a clinical component, will be prevented from attending clinical for the period of time it takes to reach compliance status in Complio. The student will receive a clinical day failure for each day they are unable to attend clinical. In accordance with Policy 02:20:00 Clinical/Clinical Simulation Placement.  If this absence exceeds more than 10% of the total clinical contact hours for that respective clinical course, a failure will be issued for the practicum and each associated nursing course component.

Students will be removed from clinical rotations by the Associate Dean for failure to maintain current clinical requirements. Clinical absences due to failure to maintain current clinical requirements will result in a $50.00/hour charge to the student’s account for each clinical day missed.

Clinical schedules are released to students 30 days prior to the beginning of each quarter.
