Emergency Credential Levels

To make the most effective use of health professionals who may have varying levels of clinical competency, the Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals which is SERVFL program that has developed a uniform process for classifying and assigning volunteers into one of four credential levels, based on the credentials provided and verified.

So, what does this mean to health professional volunteers?
 

Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals - Emergency Credential Levels:  Level 1 - Identifies volunteers who are clinically active in a hospital, either as an employee or by having hospital privileges.  Level 2 - Identifies volunteers who are clinically active in a wide variety of settings, such as clinics, nursing homes, and shelters.   Level 3 - Identifies volunteers who meet the basic qualifications necessary to practice in the state in which they are registered.   Level 4 - Identifies volunteers who have health care experience or education that would be usefull for assisting clinicians and providing basic health care not controlled by the scope of practice laws (may include health professions students or retired health professionals who no longer hold a license).
 

Assigning healthcare volunteers to these different levels is important because it:
  • Reduces the credential verification burden for emergency care delivery;
  • Allows personnel to be allocated according to need;
  • Permits volunteers to be used at their highest capacity; and
  • Facilitates sharing of volunteer personnel.
