Hi Kim, We have several categories of P&P each in their own library file .... human resources, Laboratory, Radiology, etc. By far the largest is Patient Care. Any procedure that affects patients, whether originating in radiology, pharmacy, or the clinical areas is stored here. Since the Patient Care file is so large (300+ policies), we have this library file broken down into several cabinets w/i it ... numerically and by category. We also have an alphebetized list of all policies and their associated number in one text file. This way, a user can find the policy one of several ways. In the NUR module in the process intervention screen, one can view the policy via View Protocol. Since this opens up such a tiny window, we tell users to use this mainly to find the policy's number. Once the user knows the number, s/he can find the policy that way. If they know the policy they are looking for, they can look it up in the alphabetized list and get the number that way. Or, if they just need to know if there is a policy on say, central lines, they can go to the IV CATEGORY, and browse that selection and find what they're looking for. I'm the first to admit MT's MOX set up is horrible for storing, updating, and finding policies, but since this is the system we're using, this set up is working fairly well for us.
