Create and file paperless medical policies
Think about how you currently manage policies and procedures. Maybe you have a vast collection of paper-filled binders, or an intranet system managed by an information-technology expert. Why not eliminate paper waste – and the middle man – with POLICY, which allows any administrator to type up policy and procedure documentation within a dynamic word-processing environment? You can upload existing documents, too! Enjoy automatic archiving, so the next time a former employee comes back to work at your hospital, it will be easy to see what policy version was in effect when he or she left, as well as the latest document revision.
Flexible approval chains
Just as standards for Joint Commission regulatory compliance are constantly changing, so are your approval processes and management hierarchies. POLICY lets you create virtual chains of command based on individuals, user groups, and more. Approvers can even collaborate within the policy system, and discuss medical policies right within the innovative document viewer.
Soft-copy signatures
It’s safe to say that signatures on healthcare policies take a backseat to nurses’ other pressing responsibilities. Use POLICY compliance management software to let them easily search for and sign the latest regulation update when they have the availability. They simply enter their administrator-assigned user names and personal passwords, and records are generated automatically. Their signatures are saved, and easily located with a soft-copy search. Assign that policy a due date and expiration date and POLICY will alert users when they need to review and sign it again.
