How to Create a Policy Committee
In order for your Healthcare Organization to achieve its policy management, as well as overall risk, compliance and governance goals, it is important to assemble a policy committee. World class organizations assemble innovative boards of advisors and committees. Professional athletes assemble their dream team of trainers, nutritionists, and coaches. Celebrities have their entourage of personal trainers, publicists, stylists and makeup artists that keep them in tip top shape and perception. For something as important as policy governance and management, having a policy committee is critical. Assembling your policy committee will keep: – Your policy initiative on track
– Policies up to date
– Your organization in compliance with the tens to hundreds of regulations that might govern and accredit your facilities
Let’s delve into how to assemble that policy committee. I discovered that in my work over the past 13 years with over 1500 healthcare facilities, having a policy committee was the most important differentiator between success and failure. Policy committees allow for centralization of thought and communication around many key components. A policy committee is usually made up of the key stake holders in charge of each manual or type of policy which at many times mirrors the departmental structure of your organization.
