Abstract

This article describes the implementation of an online, document-tracking system for policies and procedures. The process of converting from a "binder system" to an online, paperless system is described in detail. The advantages of real-time computer access to staff are identified as well as the necessary steps needed to move an entire hospital into the future and use emerging technology.
