Is there a contract length/obligation?

Upon expiration, the agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms until written notice of non-renewal at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the current term is received.
In some circumstances, there would be fees due if the semester has commenced and the EMR set up and licenses. have been issued.
What is the deadline to submit requests for updates to the golden database? How does Choice prefer these requests be made?
Requests for updates to the golden database should be submitted to Choice EMR Learning by August 1 of each year. Any update request should be sent via email to support@choicelearning.ca.
Updates to consider:
- Do you require additional forms or documents to be added?
- If yes, what are the forms or documents you require?
What then is the access-loss dates for the end of term so that we can advise returning students for the following term? Is there any communication that Choice currently sends out to students directly about this?
Citrix passwords change on September 1, January 1, and May 1. Please send your device name to receive the new password. Citrix passwords are changed as close to the beginning of the day the new password is to be implemented. Often this is the same day.
For returning students:
We require the college to send us a class list of returning students at the beginning of each semester, so we know who needs the new Citrix password.
We email all students on the class list of returnees requesting a device name for our files in order to receive the new password.
For new students:
We require the college to send us a class list of new students for each semester as well as update us on add/drops. We email all students on the class list requesting a device name for our files. If a college is using our online store and not being invoiced, a student must complete their access purchase to receive their login credentials.
The access sheet given to each student with login credentials indicates: *Citrix passwords change on September 1, January 1, and May 1. Please send your device name to receive the new password.
Is there one-on-one training for faculty?
There is unlimited training provided for faculty in any year of membership.
What is the refund policy for students?
We would give a refund if the student dropped the course and planned not to return to the college in that program area or there was a special circumstance and it was later into the semester, but they were going to be unsuccessful and not returning. If the student plans to return to the same program area in the future, a refund is optional as they can gain access again when next enrolled because access doesn’t expire.
Is a college required to keep Choice Learning updated on add/drops?
Yes. Choice Learning will need to know if a student is no longer enrolled so they can be inactivated for security purposes as well as confirmed as an addition to your college and granted access to your college’s software environment if added.
What kind of technical support do you provide?
We have email support that is provided Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST. There is telephone and screensharing support that can be provided if escalation is deemed required.
What exactly is the level of involvement needed from our IT team?
The IT team would use the Choice Learning instruction document and/or video to download Citrix on any of the college computers in the classrooms or common areas you would like students to be able to access the Accuro EMR software. This is because students don’t have permissions associated with their logins to enable the download.
How do my student's get access?
Setting up a one-on-one call to discuss your program needs is the first step.
Next a document will be provided outlining what Choice Learning will be providing to your college. When this is signed by the signing authorities, you will be ready to get started.
Are patients provided to work with in the software or do students make up their own?
A patient list is provided for each student that ensures unique last names and health card numbers for each patient on each list.
Can I preview the software and training content before adopting it?
We do not set up test accounts for software previewing specifically, but do have downloads available for preview of the training materials here: https://samples.choicelearning.ca/samples
