AHA Endorsement:

Policy & Procedure Management Software & Services

"Now, we are confident that employees know where to find policies and that we are covered both in a quality and legal manner because the policies are all up to date. It puts my mind at ease knowing every employee has the same information." - David Robinson, Director of IT, Sumner Mental Health Center

Without an efficient system in place, hospital policies and procedures can quickly become out of date or misplaced. Health care providers are increasingly relying on dedicated new technologies to manage and coordinate these critical documents and attendant processes.

Why We Endorsed Policy & Procedure Management Software & Services from PolicyTech

The Policy & Procedure Manager® (PPM) from PolicyTech is designed specifically to address the complex compliance environment of hospitals. With PPM, administrators easily assign authority and responsibilities, control the content and “look” of each document and can determine the frequency of communications and reminders-all with a click of a button. Because best practices are embedded in the solution, authors fill out documents correctly; then, the review-and-approval process is fully automated. Greater than half of the PolicyTech customer base is health care related, and its senior leadership are deeply experienced in the field. Its clients in other sectors enable the company to address issues in critical operational areas, including scalablity, security, infrastructure and multiple-language capabilities.

Routed through a customizable review-and-approval process, authors can immediately see stalled or stuck document flow

Due dates, escalation and reminder emails accelerate the review-and approval processes

No external system document upload/download or HTML text editor use increases version control and user ease
Reports access function tells the administrator (via email reminders) which documents have been read, which still need to be read, which are in review and more
Reports organized by date, site, department or regulatory standard
Employees have ready access to the documents relevant to their jobs
Saves HR time and effort training new employees in appropriate policies and procedures
