Get new starters into Compassly on their first day

Joining takes one scan

Everyone registers their own Compassly account once, on their phone or in a browser, so there are no accounts for you to create and no passwords to send out. To join your organisation, the new starter shows a QR code in the app and a Manager scans it from their own phone. Where scanning isn't practical, such as for someone joining from another site, the Manager types in a short joining code instead.

The Manager then checks the new starter's details and chooses their access level on the same screen, so an experienced nurse can start assessing colleagues from their first shift. Each account carries the person's profile picture, so Supervisors can always confirm who they are assessing.

How the app gets onto personal phones and ward devices is covered on Built around clinical users, and how people work for more than one organisation on Working across organisations.

Credit for experience on paper

Experienced staff often arrive with competencies already signed off on paper. A Supervisor can sign several off together, attaching one set of evidence such as a scan of the signed pages, and when approving each one can set the date the work was actually done, so renewals fall due at the right time.

Where only part of a competency was assessed on paper, that part can be uploaded as evidence, so their record reflects everything they have already done. Your organisation decides who can approve this kind of sign-off, as described on Governance controls.
