Record an Out Migration Verification Request

If a health worker applies to practice in another country, the certification or licensing authority in the foreign country usually requests verification of the health worker's credentials. Recording this information with the health worker's record enables the system to track possible out migrations of health workers and the reasons for leaving the country, which can be useful in analyzing health worker retention issues. A request for verification for out migration does not mean that the health worker has actually out migrated; that cannot be determined with this system.

1. In the person's record click Out Migration in the side menu to jump to the "Out Migration" section.

2. Click Add Out Migration.

3. Select the Country where the request came from, or the country where the health worker plans to emigrate.

4. Enter the health worker's Address in the New Country, if known.

5. Select the Out Migration Reason.

6. Record the name of the Organization Requesting Verification, if known.

7. Enter the Request Date (today's date is saved by default if no date is selected).

8. Click Confirm and confirm that the information entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save to save it.

The system displays the person's record with the out migration information added. To add another request for out migration verification, click Add Out Migration again. There is no limit to the number of requests that can be recorded.
