The administration clerk has two requests before her. For the first, she uses Medical Staff Credentials to produce an updated report on the status of all medical staff credential files. Alerts are sent to providers whose licenses are due for renewal or who need to re-apply for privileges. For the second, she accesses Administrative Resource Management System (ARMS) and enters a staff member's request to attend a training session.
