We have a discussion board called "Draft Review". We post new and revised policies at the beginning of the month and remove them at the end. We've had as few as 3 policies and as many as 25 at one time. Any feedback is sent back to the authors, who then revise and send a final draft to me to take through the approval process. We have over 37,000 employees in our system and anywhere from 200 to 500 people visit the site depending on what policies are out there (I send advance notification of what is going to be posted). Of that, maybe 20 to 30 people actually leave comments. People also send me email directly with feedback.
We are just beginning discussions on whether or not it is productive, but we have received some very good feedback from around our system (25 hospitals). It can be an onerous process - taking me anywhere from 2 to 8 hours - again, depending on the number of policies I am working with. I have heard by word of mouth that people appreciate the opportunity to provide input and ask questions.

For example, I see that sometimes new policies are posted on the policy website with a general invitation to comment. Can anyone offer some insight on how well that process functions? Do you find it to be productive? Onerous? Do you find that the effect on campus by-in is worthwhile? Thank you, Ellen Ellen M.
