Before completing training, the ATA/Supervisor needs to:
- Submit Skilled Assessor Training request form.
- Wait for Skilled Assessor request approval. Chiayu McGill with the Center for Housing and Health will contact you regarding approval.
After receiving approval, the training steps for the user is as follows:
1. New to HMIS: If you do not have access to the HMIS yet, training will need to be requested from the Help Desk by an ATA/Supervisor, providing the following information.
-
- Name and Agency email
- Username on the Learning Management System (LMS): Create an account if you haven’t done so already. If you have issues accessing your existing account, email helpdesk@allchicago.org
- What role will be needed on the HMIS (ex. Case Manager, ATA, or Skilled Assessor) or expected responsibilities (ex. Read-Only, reviewing referrals, reporting, etc)
- What projects will need to be accessed
*Users that already have access to the HMIS will still need their training requested and new role confirmed by an ATA/Supervisor.
2. Complete the prerequisite HMIS course - Introduction to Homeless Management Information System on the Learning Management System (LMS).
*If you're new to the HMIS, midway through this course is where you need to register for a training account.
3. Complete the Skilled Assessor Training course on the Learning Management System (LMS).
4. Once you have completed the online training courses, email helpdesk@allchicago.org requesting login access to the HMIS Training site and access to the Coordinated Entry project (1474).
5. Use the instructions and scenario included in the course to complete the fake client assignment in the HMIS Training site.
5. This assignment is managed and approved by the Skilled Assessor Team at the Center of Housing and Health, who would then alert the HMIS team of the training completion. Once we receive confirmation, you will be then alerted that you have gained access to the HMIS as a Skilled Assessor.
