    Expected This Month: Storyboard Links Added to “Regulatory Course Wizard” 
    In late June, we released the “Regulatory Course Wizard” to guide administrators through creating a curated training curriculum for various audiences, like Clinical, Medication Dispensing; Non-Clinical, Patient-Facing; Physicians & Practitioners; etc. (review here). More recently, we’ve been working to enhance the Wizard’s recommendations page: 
    • Live: Before creating your curriculum, you can now deselect any courses that you would like excluded from your curriculum. NOTE: You must still create and save your curriculum before you can begin adding any courses. 
    • Expected This Month: In addition to viewing applicable regulatory requirements from CMS, OSHA, HHS, and the EEOC, you’ll soon see links to each recommended course’s storyboard.*
    • Expected This Month: We’re updating the “Create Curriculum” button, so you can choose to create a curriculum or a course bundle. NOTE: In addition to Help’s definitions and guidance, we recommend reviewing this Community discussion for key considerations in choosing a curriculum or course bundle.
    *Remember, the Wizard may include courseware from SafetyQ and ComplyQ in its recommendation. Any courses not included in your current contract will be highlighted (review here). You can only view storyboards for your contracted courses, and you must have access to SafetyQ Exclusive Content​​. If you do not, you must be assigned/complete this course: Community Access to SafetyQ Exclusive Content (FOR ADMINISTRATOR USE ONLY).
