OBTAINING APPROVAL TO ADD A PRODUCT ON THE SITE

The following process will be followed in approving Health Careers Recruitment and / or Retention products to be added to and featured on the Clearinghouse:

I. Products automatically featured on this web site meet at least one of the following criteria:

  1. Health Careers Recruitment and / or Retention Products developed under contract with the Georgia DCH Division of Health Planning and / or the Georgia Department of Community Health, the Georgia Health Care Workforce Policy Advisory Committee [HWPAC]; and,
  2. Health Careers Recruitment and / or Retention Products developed by member organizations represented on the Georgia Department of Community Health, the Georgia Health Care Workforce Policy Advisory Committee [HWPAC].

The Director of the Health Careers Resource Clearinghouse may add, at her discretion, products submitted by Georgia non-profits or AHECs from other states, if they are deemed appropriate to the site. When a denial is made, it will be automatically forwarded to the Recruitment and Marketing Sub-Committee of the HWPAC for validation. The Sub-Committee may overrule a decision of the Director.

II. For products not meeting these criteria, (i.e. for profit vendors, out of state vendors, etc.) but submitted for consideration to the Director of the Clearinghouse, the following process will be utilized:

  1. The Director will review the proposed product and make a recommendation to the Recruitment and Marketing Sub-Committee of the HWPAC.
  2. The Sub-Committee will decide if the product should be featured on the site.

III. PROCESS TO PLACE A PRODUCT ON THE SITE:
Once approval to be added to the site is received (section 1 above), the developer of the product must forward four (4) physical copies of the product to the Clearinghouse Director, and provide narrative, as needed, to the Webmaster. Product pricing information must also be provided to be included on the site. A Letter of Agreement between the product developer and the Clearinghouse must be executed prior to inclusion of the product on the site. Products are eligible for inclusion throughout the year; there will be no defined cycles for introducing new products.

IV. FEES:
There will be no fees associated with being featured on this site.

V. SITE REVIEW:
The Clearinghouse Director and the HWPAC Recruitment and Marketing Sub-Committee will conduct an annual review of the site in the Spring of each fiscal year.
