Custom Competencies
In the world of clinical education, a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t cut it. That’s exactly where Amber makes a difference. Unlike many other documentation systems, Amber gives instructors the freedom to define and track their own custom competencies—making it a truly personalized tool for respiratory therapy programs.
With Amber, you’re not stuck with rigid forms. Instead, you can set up exactly the skill checks your students need, track their progress in a way that fits your curriculum, and ensure everyone’s ready for the real world with a friendly, supportive tool by their side. We’ve made it warm and intuitive so that both students and instructors feel right at home from day one.
Made by RTs for RTs
What truly sets Amber apart is that it’s the only clinical documentation system created by respiratory therapists for respiratory therapists, and it’s also uniquely agile. With a dedicated team of developers, Amber can quickly adapt and roll out modifications that programs or the field need on the fly.
Clock in Control
Another standout feature of Amber is how it simplifies hour tracking with a modern twist. Students can easily clock in and out right from their phone or computer, which means no more fussing with paper logs or clunky time cards. But here’s the really cool part: instructors can set a geographic zone around the clinical facility, so students can only clock in when they’re actually on-site. This helps ensure that hours are logged accurately and honestly, giving both students and instructors peace of mind.
In other words, Amber isn’t just about logging hours; it’s about doing it in a way that’s convenient and trustworthy. We’ve built it to be a tool that everyone can rely on, and that makes clinical documentation feel a little less like a chore and a lot more like a smooth part of the learning journey.
Clinical Site Management
With Amber, instructors have a powerful and flexible way to manage clinical site rotations. They can define each clinical site with all the important details students need—from contact information and special instructions to interactive maps they can use right on their phones. This means students not only know exactly where they’re going, but also have a smooth way to navigate there without any confusion.
In other words, Amber isn’t just about tracking hours and competencies—it’s also about making the entire clinical journey more connected and stress-free for everyone involved.
Daily Logs and Physician Interaction
One of Amber’s standout attributes is how it lets students keep track of their daily procedures and interactions in a really meaningful way. Students can log exactly what they did each day—whether they performed a procedure independently, observed it, or did it with a little help. They can also document how they interacted with physicians—like whether it was a one-on-one discussion, a group setting, or a general lecture.
All these details don’t just disappear into a black hole—they actually translate into points or progress markers within the system, giving students and instructors a clear picture of what’s been accomplished. In other words, Amber makes it easy to turn everyday clinical experiences into a documented journey of growth. It’s all about giving students a richer way to reflect on their learning and instructors a clearer way to see their progress.
Mapping and Navigation
Amber’s mapping system isn’t just for students—it’s a powerful tool for instructors too. With just a quick glance at a report, teachers can see exactly where their students are and whether they've clocked in at the correct clinical location. If someone accidentally clocks in outside the designated area, the instructor can spot it right away and help the student get back on track. It’s all about giving instructors an easy way to keep everything running smoothly and making sure students are where they need to be.
Creative method for Approvers
A unique attribute of Amber is how it handles the approval process for student competencies right on the app. When a student is performing a procedure at their clinical site, an observer—who might not even be in the system yet—can digitally sign off right then and there to confirm the student’s competence. This digital approval is then seamlessly added into the system and can later be officially verified by the program directors.
In other words, Amber makes it incredibly easy for external evaluators to jump in, approve a student’s skills on the spot, and then have that approval fully integrated into the student’s records. It’s a streamlined, flexible approach that sets Amber apart from other applications and makes the whole competency sign-off process a breeze for everyone involved.
CoARC Specified Evaluations
Amber also takes care of a crucial compliance detail: the end-of-semester evaluations that are federally required and often dictated by COARC. With Amber, these evaluations are built right into the system and always kept up-to-date. That means students, instructors, and clinical sites can easily complete their required evaluations without any hassle. Everything’s ready to go, ensuring that the program meets its federal and COARC standards smoothly and reliably.
Ease CoARC surveyor access
When it’s time for a COARC survey, Amber makes the whole process smoother by allowing instructors to temporarily grant surveyors access to student records. This means the surveyor can review all the necessary documentation ahead of time, making their visit more efficient and less stressful for everyone. By providing this easy and secure temporary access, Amber helps ensure that schools are always ready for accreditation reviews without any last-minute scrambling.
Effortless Clinical Scheduling
Competency Forms
Amber Clinical is revolutionizing how universities manage clinical education by providing a seamless platform for scheduling students’ clinical rounds. With Amber Clinical, program coordinators can efficiently assign students to clinical sites, ensuring optimal coverage and compliance with accreditation requirements. The intuitive scheduling tools eliminate manual spreadsheets and endless email chains, saving valuable administrative time and reducing errors. This streamlined process means students are always in the right place at the right time, maximizing their learning opportunities.
Comprehensive Student Documentation
Beyond scheduling, Amber Clinical empowers students to record their real-world interactions at clinical sites directly within the platform. Students can log patient encounters, procedures, and skills performed, creating a comprehensive digital portfolio of their clinical experience. This not only helps students track their progress but also provides faculty with actionable insights into each student’s development. The platform’s secure and user-friendly interface ensures that documentation is accurate, timely, and easily accessible for review and feedback.
Elevating Educational Quality
By bridging the gap between academic scheduling and clinical documentation, Amber Clinical enhances transparency, accountability, and educational quality. Universities benefit from robust reporting tools that simplify compliance and accreditation processes, while students gain confidence knowing their clinical achievements are well-documented and recognized. Amber Clinical is more than just a scheduling tool—it’s a complete solution for modern clinical education, supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals every step of the way.
