Hello Anu,
Here at the University of Washington, "UW Medicine" is the overall name that applies to 4 medical centers (or hospitals), 9 neighborhood clinics, affiliations with 3 additional research/medical centers, and an airlift organization (this differentiates it from the UW School of Medicine which teaches medicine in a 5-state region). Consequently, UW Medicine has various policies (some for researchers) available publically and also a firewall behind which other clinical operations policies exist for each separate entity within the UW Medicine umbrella. Here are a couple of key links available publically: * UW Medicine Policies page<http://www.uwmedicine.org/about/policies> * UW Medicine Compliance Policies page<http://depts.washington.edu/comply/policies.shtml> * UW Medicine Compliance Research page<http://depts.washington.edu/comply/research.shtml> My office works with the UW Medicine folks for policies that may affect their operations differently than those at our 3 campuses, and we use exception language in policies when these differences occur.

Here is a question and a request: 1. Are the policies retaining to university's clinical operations included within U-wide policy library or are maintained separately by the individual clinical entity? 2. In either case, could you please send me links to the table of contents for the policy library (ies): a single all inclusive for all policies or separate one for non- clinical operations and the one for clinical operations)? Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support. Best.
