Policy management is key to hospital success and ensures patients receive safe and effective care. Ensuring staff has the latest version of policies and procedures, and that they can access them at any time, is critical. Even with a central repository on a shared drive or SharePoint, it is often difficult to confirm staff has read important policies.

In this webinar, Navicent Health shares its journey in implementing a full policy and procedure management system composed of 12,000 documents for 10 entities encompassing ambulatory/retail, acute care, post-acute and corporate functions. They completed over 120,000 deliverables in less than 20 weeks during implementation using the PolicyTech system and support. You will learn factors considered in their decision, the timeline, success metrics and how involvement by multiple teams ensured success.

In addition, NAVEX Global will share the top five policy management challenges faced by organizations from its latest benchmark survey. A Q&A with Navicent Health on how its team tackled those challenges will follow.

What You Will Learn:

• How to address key challenges with managing policies and procedures.
• How to implement your program and educate your staff.
• How implementing an automated policy and procedure management program can improve your processes.
• The benefits of establishing a good policy and procedure management program.
