STM publisher Elsevier has announced the launch of PolicyNavigator, a knowledge management tool for healthcare organisations (HCOs). PolicyNavigator allows executives, administrators and healthcare legal professionals to create, exchange, review, approve and share knowledge and documents quickly and easily, and ensures that content remains current and appropriate for use.
PolicyNavigator, which can be implemented as a stand-alone solution or with an organisation's existing workflow as a seamless extension of Elsevier's Mosby's Skills and Performance Manager, encompasses five categories of functionality: document creation; document management; electronic review and approval workflow; search and browse content online; and archival of polices with the ability to retrieve prior versions.
PolicyNavigator is automated and paperless, eliminating the work of distributing and tracking policies, as well as generating reports for regulatory agencies. All documents can be stored, revised, and distributed across the organisation to control all aspects of the business and improve decision making.
PolicyNavigator's functionalities include: Staff Member/Learner features for staff to acknowledge assigned documents, search documents, view documents, view alerts and email notifications, select, save and print documents, and acknowledge policy documents are read; Author/Creator features for document creation, search, browse and publishing documents. Users can view email notifications; select, view, edit and save documents; facilitate document collaboration, view reviewed and approved documents and policies; and view version history and archives; and Reviewer/Approver features include search and browse documents, email notifications. Users have the ability to accept, decline, or provide feedback on documents, edit documents, track changes, and submit feedback to the author. Additionally, users can view list of documents reviewed and approved, and view version history and archives.
