What is the "Show Changes" Feature?

Issue/Objective

To understand the Show Changes feature

Environment

PolicyStat

Procedure/Resolution

Click to view these steps in the legacy PolicyStat interface.

The “Show Changes” feature is a detailed view of how a document has been altered. Alterations include content that has been added or removed, and also content that has been re-ordered and re-formatted.

Any user can view this regardless of permissions. This is to enable staff to easily refresh their knowledge by focusing on what has changed since they last read or used a policy. By streamlining the policy review process, we help save valuable time that can be redirected towards patient care.
