Update Contact Time for Program Placements

Process Overview

Only Placement Administrators have access to enter, update, or correct Program Placement information.  If you are not a Placement Administrator, send an email request to your Placement Administrator.

If the Required Contact Time for a Program’s Placements needs to be updated due to a recent or future change, insert a new effective dated row to update the Program’s Placement Required Contact Time details.

Note:    Updates to the Program Placement configuration will occur on the entered Effective Date.  If the Effective Date is a future date, updates to the Program Placement configuration will not apply in Medici until that date (ie. any updates to the Required Contact Time will not apply to Program Placements prior to the Effective Date).

If the Required Contact Time details need to be corrected rather than updated (ie. incorrect details were entered when the Program Placement information was configured), the Required Contact Time should be updated in ‘Correction’ mode.
