Members-only access removing or adding an employee has just been made easier

Care Providers of Minnesota (CPM) wants to make sure that all members get the most out of their membership. We know that everyone is busy and that now more than ever we are seeing individuals moving around throughout the healthcare continuum. One of the last things that is on your mind is to notify CPM of employee changes. We have just made it easier for you to notify us of any employee changes. A new online form has been created for members to use to request changes to your employee information in our database.

Why is it important to notify CPM when an employee changes at one of your locations? 
We want to make sure that the new employee gets a username and password and is made aware of the many benefits they are afforded to them through CPM while working for your organization. It is an investment that your organization makes to support employees, so we want you to get the best return on your investment. Likewise, we want to remove employees who leave the organization so our database is accurate. 

To add or remove an employee from membership, sign into our website, click on your name located under the search bar on the top right-hand side of our website. Once you are in your profile, you will see an option to update your site’s employee(s) information on the bottom left-hand side of the website. 

Please fill in all fields as we will use this information to update our database. Be specific—for example, if you add a new corporate leadership employee and the individual supports multiple locations, please include that information. However, if the new employee works at a specific location, we want to add them to that location within our database. Don’t forget to include if any individual you add is replacing someone else, so we remove the employee they are replacing.  

If we add a new employee, they will be issued a username and password once our team has reviewed the information and updated the database. 

Please note—submitting this form does not automatically update your information on our website. As all database changes need to go through CPM staff first, it may take up to a few days for your information to change. 

Below is a list of many of the member-only benefits that everyone should be taking advantage of!
