Plain Language Alert Training Available
| UAMS has moved from an alert system using codes and colors to plain language. These alerts fall into four different categories: security, weather, facility, and medical. The alert is then followed by plain language and will sound something like this “Weather Alert, Tornado Warning for the main UAMS campus.”
This change is part of an effort to be more transparent and to allow not only our staff but our patients and visitors to understand more clearly what is happening at UAMS. A short training course has been uploaded to My Compass and will be assigned to those on campus for initial and annual training on the new plain language alert system. My Compass notifications will let you know when the course has been assigned to you. Once assigned, individuals will have a 30-day time frame to complete the training.
