How the Room Check-In Process Works for Accreditation

Written by Michael Doane | Feb 5, 2020 5:00:00 AM

If your organization hosts educational conferences that offer continuing education credits, then you know all about the accreditation process. It’s not always easy. Luckily, we’ve found that tying room check-in with session evaluations and certificates makes it a little simpler. Here’s how:

Step 1: Scan the Attendees, or Have the Attendees Scan a QR Code (Self Check-In)

This helps:

  • Track attendance at sessions
  • Ensure access to correct evaluations
  • Support self check-in or staff each session for increased compliance

Step 2: Attendees Complete Session Evaluations

How it works:

  • Tied to attendee knowledge because they only get credit when they’ve completed surveys
  • Evaluations and quizzes can be completed in the event app or on laptop/PC
  • Attendees must wait until end of session to receive evaluation code or ensure attendance through check-ins

Step 3: Attendees Access Certificates & Transcripts

Why it works for accreditation compliance:

  • Send attendees reminders to complete evaluations based on check-in lists
  • Credits earned show up instantly for attendees who complete quizzes and evaluations
  • Organizers have access to data and documented process for re-accreditation

Ultimately, providing a simple process to your attendees allows them to access credits and prove knowledge more efficiently. It also backs up your role as an accredited provider because your system is well-documented and your data is easy to reference.
