I am also interested in knowing what "usual" practice is in this area - and possibly in expanding the discussion slightly.
When this position was created at UNG (and I was thrust into it) I was given a
template which combined a policy with its procedure(s) in a single document.
As I have worked towards implementation, I saw this as a potential problem area
since procedures would be changed more frequently that their underlying policy.
What we (just last week) decided to do was to split the procedures out into
separate documents, with a link in each document tying it to the other. Each
document will now contain its own update log.
Any discussion of how someone has implemented this variation (problems
discovered, lessons learned, etc.) would also be appreciated.

Subject: [acupa-l] Editing or Revising policies versus procedures
Hello all.
For those of you who have a combined document - policy and procedure - do you
allow separate update dates (edit, revision) for each of those sections
(policy/procedure), or when a document is updated, do you change both dates?
In the past, we've had folks update both dates, and I'm leaning towards going
the other way. So I figured I'd ask to see if there is a "usual" practice out
there.
