  • 1.  Program policies

    Posted 25 days ago

    Good afternoon,

    Does anyone have sample program policies and procedures that they are willing to share?  We are trying to update our old program manual and there are a few policy and procedural gaps that I am trying to fill and am hoping to have something to work from.  For example, what are your policies and procedures regarding discharges from your bereavement program?

    Hi Jennifer, after we conclude follow up care, no more mailings or calls, we just discontinue the plan of care. I think that varies on how to do that within different EMRs, but generally that is what we do and add a clinical note indicating this.
