The AI agents in this template
An agent only works on its own steps, and a person on your team checks what it did. Anything an agent writes to a connected app waits for approval unless you allow it.
Renewal checker
Checks the staff member's renewal details against the requirements for the credential.
What it does
- Reads the credential, the expiry dates and the education hours on the run
- Compares them with the requirements in its step instructions
- Writes a check note into its step
- Completes its step, so the coordinator can verify at the source
Checked by: The credentialing coordinator verifies the renewal at the source in step 4.
Questions this template answers
Start each renewal well before the expiry date, with one owner and the staff member's part in one place. Step 1 starts the run 90 days before expiry, and step 6 records when the next renewal starts so the next cycle begins on time.
Tell each staff member what to renew months before the expiry date, and give them one link to record the renewal. Step 1 emails the expiry details with the shared link, and in step 2 the staff member records the new expiry date and shares a link to the renewed certificate.
Check it at the source, on the licensing board's register or with the course provider, not only from a copy. Step 4 records the date and reference of that check, and the coordinator marks the run blocked when something does not match.
Decide before the expiry date whether the staff member stays on the schedule, and record who decided. Step 5 is an approval gate: updating the tracker and the schedule stays locked until the clinic manager approves the renewal or takes the staff member off the schedule from the expiry date.
Let AI compare the renewal details with your requirements, and keep the verification with a person. In step 3 the renewal checker writes a note on what matches, and in step 4 the credentialing coordinator verifies the renewal at the source.
Keep one record per renewal with the verification date, the reference and the decision. Steps 4 and 5 record who verified and who approved each renewal, and when, and step 6 records when the next renewal starts.
