A
Document Control system is a necessity in the modern healthcare
workplace. Policies, procedures, forms, worksheets, memoranda (and
many others) all require a uniform method to write, review, approve
and distribute, as well as to serve as a knowledge base for your
staff. Sadly, many solutions on the market today trap the enterprise
in a rigid structure that lacks the flexibility to meet common
workplace challenges.
Like
sections in an orchestra, your Pharmacy, Radiology, Laboratory,
Nursing, Environmental Services (and multiple other departments), all
depend on their respective staffs playing off the right sheet of
music.
With
StaffReady’s Document Control module, you can
get in
tune and manage
documents
at
all levels and locations of your organization.
Here
are six reasons to use StaffReady Document Control:
- Flexibility
– While some solutions require fixed templates, StaffReady’s
Document Control module does not carry this restriction. StaffReady
allows the Document Owner to use any file type desired – including
website URLs. Choose the design, add logos and figures to control the
look and feel of your choosing. If desired, you can maintain the
corporate document style you have in place now.
- Security
– Our Cloud-based solution securely stores your documents for easy
downloads from any modern internet device. Document Owners can
publish a document to a single department, the entire Enterprise, or
privately to just specific individuals. If you’re using the
StaffReady Competency module, you can create exams and checklists in
Document Control to eliminate the possibility of tampering with
content.
- Manage
by Location – Assign and track documents by your organization’s
Locations. A Location can be anything from a street address, to an
individual workstation or instrument. Perfect for health systems with
large campuses, outreach locations, or operations located in
different cities. Document Control is also designed to work with any
unique, single location within different departments.
- Easy
Document Handling – View all document revisions and versions of a
document throughout its lifetime. Track the edits made by each
Reviewer, as well as who approved each document version. Categorize
your documents using either the Subject or Library of Congress
Classification systems. Personnel changes do not require a restart
of a document review and/or approval process – simply change the
roles as needed.
- Document
Library – Our Cloud-based technology provides your staff 24/7
access to the library of documents assigned to each user. No more
lost documents or manuals locked in someone's office during an audit.
Search by a document name, description, unique document ID, location,
or specific keywords.
- Individual
or Team Assignments – Electronically pin reading assignments to
select job descriptions or by department, if desired. As new employees
come on board, they are assigned the same documents, based upon the
pins you have established. Or, assign specific documents to a few
specific individuals, as needed.
Let
your staff get access to what they need when they need it... with
StaffReady Document Control.
We’ll
