POLICY UPDATE
Policy Manager Approval Workflows

Policy Manager is designed to streamline and manage the review and approval processes for policies and other standards documents at UConn Health. Automated approval workflows facilitate the efficient creation, review, approval, and dissemination of organizational policies. Beginning with administrative standards in January, automated approval workflows will be applied to documents in Policy Manager.

Importance of Policy Manager Workflow Processes
Using Policy Manager for approval workflows is important for several key reasons. 

Efficiency and Streamlining: The software streamlines the entire policy lifecycle, from creation to approval, by providing a centralized platform for collaborative editing, reviewing, and finalizing policies.  

Regulatory Compliance: It ensures that policies align with regulatory standards, helping UConn Health comply with industry regulations, accreditation requirements, and legal obligations. 

Transparency and Accountability: The software offers transparency in the approval process, providing a clear audit trail and ensuring accountability among stakeholders involved in policy creation and approval. 
Internal Resource Guide and Best Practices
The Policy Team developed a resource guide for stakeholders involved in the review and approval process. The resource guide provides clarity regarding roles and responsibilities and outlines best practices for efficient policy review, editing, and approval. As workflows are finalized, stakeholders will be notified and the Policy Team will provide additional information and guidance.
