Description
This six-hour seminar delivered in three segments clarifies how to create documents and how to control them. Beginning with a powerful exercise in policy creation, we will systematically illustrate how to transform that policy into intent with valuable flow charts, step-by-step procedures and form templates. Next, we will provide expert advice on how to create a documentation structure that allows those working in your service to find documents quickly. We will then show how to control those documents to create a document structure for staff that is logical and reliable. Participants will return to their workplace with valuable templates, tools, and tips to manage the vast array of documentation needed for a laboratory or diagnostic imaging service, and to meet AC Diagnostics or ISO 15189 requirements.
