Amendment Process to Policies and Procedures Manual

Anytime there is a change in one of the policies or procedures, each faculty member and

resident will receive a printed paper copy mailed to their home. Any policy that changes will have a revision date on it. The most recent, updated policy will be listed on the www.iihe.org web site. At any time, if a situation arises where reference to a policy is needed, the web site will contain the version of the policy that is enforceable at that date.

Any resident may suggest an amendment change or institution of a new policy. The process for this is to share the idea and present a written draft to the chief residents for advisory purposes. After feedback is obtained, the resident may submit his/her proposed revision to the residency office, (Attn: Carol Szczesny). All such submissions will be reviewed by the Residency Administrative Team, who will be accountable for presenting proposed amendments at the faculty meeting once per quarter. If the faculty can reach consensus on the proposed changes, a revised policy will be generated and distributed.

Any faculty member may also suggest an amendment change or institution of a new policy using the above-mentioned process.
