From requirement to policy to practice

You take care of patients.

Your policy software should take care of itself, and take care of you (and your entire organization).

Designed by practicing healthcare quality and regulatory leaders who have managed the same surveys, policy libraries, and corrective-action work.

Where the current process breaks

The policy problem usually becomes visible at the worst possible time.

Survey day

“Show me the policy.”

A surveyor asks how you operationalize a requirement. The answer exists somewhere — while three people search different folders.

Plan of correction

“We have 14 days.”

Someone has to trace the requirement, find the document, update it, route approval, educate staff and prove completion.

New leader

“I just inherited 39 policies that I didn’t write!”

Which are stale? Which contradict each other? Do they cover all requirements? Now I’m on the line to fix them.

Two versions

“Which one is the real policy?”

Two documents govern the same workflow and say different things. Version control alone can’t tell you which is right.

Your policy repository stores documents. Prism helps your organization know what to do.

Why we built Prism

Built by healthcare leaders who have lived the work.

Prism was designed by practicing physicians, chief quality officers, health-system executives, and healthcare technology leaders who have been responsible for regulatory readiness, accreditation surveys, policy governance, and clinical operations themselves.

We built the regulatory and policy intelligence we wished we’d had.

  1. Built by insiders

    Created by people who have had to prove coverage at survey — not software people guessing at compliance.

  2. AI inside your governance

    Understands every document against every applicable obligation, within your approval process.

  3. Outcome, owned by you

    Source-traced and human-approved. Nothing publishes automatically.

Know

Compliance intelligence: your library, made intelligent.

Prism maps each policy to CMS, accreditor, and state obligations—then shows what is covered, current, consistent, and contextual.

  • Analyze your policies, every finding tied to a source

  • Evaluate consistency, flagged for mismatch and change

  • Know the exact path from policy to obligation

  • Avoid costly surprise gaps backed by traceable evidence

Monitoring, Complications, and Discontinuation

Immediate emergency equipment, airway support supplies, and appropriate reversal agents must remain readily available on the unit. Clinicians must stop the infusion on signs of severe hypotension or respiratory depression.

Emergency equipment availability unassigned

This policy assigns a duty with no accountable role named: ensuring emergency equipment is available on the unit.

The document remains. Intelligence accumulates around it.

Policy authors start from the gap, not a blank page. Prism drafts cited language in hospital context; your team edits, routes, and owns it.

  • Draft new policy language from selected gaps and cited obligations

  • Rewrite existing policies for consistency and current compliance

  • Route edits through your own review and approval process

  • Keep every suggested change connected to the evidence trail

What do you need to know?

Ask a question…

Prism answers only from policies in force today. Open a citation and confirm the source text before acting.

Can someone document in the medical record on behalf of a provider?

Sources checked

Thought for 1s

Sometimes, but not as if you were the provider.

•When someone other than the actual care provider documents, the provider’s name should appear in the entry. Student documentation must also be confirmed by the responsible RN or clinical instructor. [1]
•Non-radiologists may not sign or electronically sign radiology reports. [2]

The entry should identify both the provider and the person documenting.

Ask a follow-up…

Documentation in the Medical Record

Add to chat

3.

Verbal orders accepted by RNs or clinic MAs must be written according to approved guidelines for orders.

4.

When documentation is done by someone other than the actual care provider, the provider’s name should appear in the entry. Student documentation must be confirmed by the RN responsible for that patient’s care or the Clinical Instructor.

5.

Only hospital approved abbreviations and forms are to be used for documentation in EMR.

Use

Answers at the pace medicine actually moves.

Your frontline staff can ask the entire policy library a question in plain language and get the right answer in seconds, grounded in the current approved policy version, on web, mobile, or inside the EHR. Every interaction feeds the utilization and attestation insight leaders need.

  • Instant answers with policy version and source path visible

  • Mobile and web access to current guidance

  • Attestation and usage signals for leadership

  • Without asking people to hunt through folders

Prove the source path

Every recommendation shows its source path.

Each finding traces back through the exact chain of evidence that produced it, validated against a known obligation set so the answer can be inspected before it is trusted.

Regulatory change

A new rule should not trigger a scavenger hunt.

When regulation or guidance changes, see the requirements, documents, facilities, and owners affected — and move to governed action with the rationale intact.
