KYHMIS Annual Documentation and Training To Avoid Deactivation
Every year, all KYHMIS agencies complete the user documentation for KYHMIS. Each person that has a license in the KYHMIS System will need to complete the documentation. All BoS agencies will need to complete these documents and send them in through the HCA Help Desk. In the subject line, please include HMIS Annual Documentation. Agencies only need to send one help desk ticket with all user documentation attached. Each KYHMIS user will need to read and sign the 2017 KYHMIS External Policies and Procedures, as well as a 2017 Security Monitoring Form. You will only need one Security Monitoring Form per agency.
Individuals should watch the HMIS Security and Privacy Training before signing the 2017 Security Monitoring Form. During this time, KYHMIS staff encourages users to watch the HMIS Training Videos (HMIS 101 Training, HMIS 102 Training, and HMIS 103 Training; and the Recovery Kentucky Training Video for our Recovery agencies) as annual HMIS Training Refresher Courses. No homework is required with this refresher.
New this year, each user will be asked to watch the refresher courses at the same time to get every user on the same schedule. We understand that you may have recently watched these videos, but we ask that you watch them again for user consistency purposes. Please complete all training requirements, documentation, and submit to the HCA Help Desk by Monday, July 31, 2017.
If KYHMIS staff does not receive user documentation and/or is unable to confirm that the user has watched the refresher courses, we will deactivate the user from HMIS until they are able to do so. If you have any questions, please contact the HCA Help Desk.
