Hello, can anyone share feedback on how they approach ‘system-wide’ policies? We are a system made up of an acute care hospital, critical access hospital, primary care and specialty care clinics. We have done a lot of work around standardizing our policies across the system so that all facilities are following the same policy. For the scope section of our policies, we currently use a table listing out the facilities and then we put an “X” next to the facilities that follow the policy. What are other organizations doing?

Following, as I too am interested in this feedback.
Hi @megan.parks, this is a great question. I’m looping in one of our Product Managers @gabriel.gomez here to chime in and share some perspective!
That is a pretty common approach to ‘applicability’ when the policy applies to say a group of clinics, departments, or employee type, and not tied to a specific location. Otherwise, a group of clinics could have it’s own ‘location’ in PolicyStat and then utilize the built-in applicability group functionality.
Hi! We are a small critical access hospital and just started using PolicyStat. Our policies Scope is level based, Level 1 affects everyone, Level 2 affects the home department and other affected departments. Level 3 affects only the department. We built approval workflows for our Level 2 departments, which was a lot of data entry in the beginning, but it has worked well for us for the approval process.
Hopefully this helps with your question?
