Access & Inform
Policies and procedures are the playbook for a hospital, and they are a critical part of a hospital’s ongoing success and accreditation. Quick, easy and ubiquitous access to approved policies and procedures is vital for effective delivery of patient care, particularly when new team members or temporary staff is involved. Access can directly influence the success of a procedure when a staff member goes into it with uncertainty about the items necessary to complete it.
While important, access is not always enough. Caregivers and other hospital staff members must read and understand a policy or a procedure. It is knowledge of the procedure that will have the greatest impact on whether or not it is followed. All hospital team members must be informed.

Hospital team members are certified on critical policies and procedures through the use of PolicyStat’s built-in testing facility.
