Synopsis:

Policy management is the process of creating, communicating, and maintaining policies and procedures within an organization. An effective policy management system can mitigate risk in two ways. First, it makes policies more quickly accessible to direct care staff, guiding care and safety decisions. Second, it can protect an organization from litigation by staying up to date on accreditation standards and creating an audit trail in the case of legal action. Because the process of managing policies can be expensive and time consuming, hospital boards should make the implementation of an efficient policy management system a priority. A comprehensive and well-managed set of policies can support GRC activities by communicating boundaries and expectations, establishing a culture of compliance within the organization, protecting the organization from litigation, and helping achieve the organization’s objectives.

We are proud to announce that our latest version of PolicyManager™ is now accessible through both iOS and Android devices. As tablet and smart-phone usage increases consistently at hospitals and other healthcare institutions, PolicyManager™ now allows healthcare professionals to enjoy the benefits of efficient policy management in a convenient, mobile way.

Many long-term care facilities trust PolicyMedical for their policy-management needs. As a member of the OANHSS, we fully understand the legal environment and the challenges of these specific organizations.
