Learn MoreOrganizations work best when there are consistent methods to handle various issues. Policies are used to establish the standard and expected approach to managing the hospital’s business. Policies must be approved by both the Administrative Committee and Board of Directors of the hospital.
Procedures are guidelines for how to carry-out of fulfill the policy. These are not “policies” but rather the method of how to apply the policy in the hospital setting. Procedures should be kept up to date.
These documents should be reviewed regularly to ensure that they are up to date with current technology, information flow, and able to meet the current needs of the hospital. Each hospital Administrative Committee should assign a “Policy Manager” to be in charge of the policy manual, ensuring that it is contextualized and appropriate for your setting. Any current policies in place should be reviewed and where needed, combined or integrated with the policy templates provided in this document.
The following is a compilation of policies and procedures that have been developed as templates for hospitals to establish operating policies in the instances when there are none in place or they are in need of updating. In general the policies here are “best practices” and provide guidance of how these situations should be handled. However they should modified to fit the local context. Administrative judgment should be used carefully to maintain the controls necessary while adjusting the process to fit the local setting. It is suggested the “Policy Manager” contextualize these policies and procedure to fit the local situation. If there are management policies in place currently they should be reviewed and integrated or updated as needed.
NOTE: Patient care policies and procedures are not included here but should be in place following a similar format in compliance with the national standards and clinical quality expectations.
