title: Hospital policies and procedures: even 'the system' needs a system.
abstract: Hospitals need effective systems for recommending, coordinating, writing, distributing, and implementing policies and procedures. Some features of an effective system include use of a coordinator, interdepartmental cooperation, and well designed forms and manuals. Some of the benefits include better management and better coordination with regulatory bodies and requirements.
