Release Notes: Approval Workflow Display on Policy View Page
The approval workflow for each policy is now prominently displayed on the policy view page. This enhancement addresses the frequent need for administrators and policy owners to reference the approval chain when creating related policies or updating existing workflows.

Hi there!
There isn’t a link to the release notes, as far as I can tell. Can you share it again? Also, when will the approval workflow section be visible? I don’t see it on any of our policy documents, will it be viewable after the next PolicyStat service update?
Thanks so much!

Hi @ashley.francois! There are release notes in the post above yours 
.
I’ll be posting more updates as ‘replies’ to my original message at the top to keep all the updates in once place.
For some reason there is nothing showing up for me in your post. It says to click below, but there isn’t anything to click. I tried viewing the post in a different browser, but it still isn’t showing anything.
Here’s the link: I’ll need to figure out why you’re not seeing this.

Thank you! I was able to see this link and the release notes. But I still don’t see where this has been updated in PolicyStat. Should we be able to see the workflow info now?
Release Notes: Add Owner Column to ‘Policies Requiring Approval’ Report
A sortable, policy owner column has been added to the policies requiring approval report.
Key Enhancements:
- Sortable Owner Column
- Users can now easily sort policies by owner, allowing for quick identification and organization of policies based on ownership.
- This feature streamlines the process of locating policies associated with specific owners
- Direct Mailing to Policy Owners
- Directly from the policy list, users can now initiate email communication with policy owners.
- This functionality facilitates faster communication and follow-ups on pending policies.
Good morning,
I noted the individuals in the approval workflow listed on the policies do not match the names of the individuals listed from the admin page.
Hi. Was the approval workflow updated recently?
@jacqueline.king There is a fix going out today that will address an issue when the policy workflow changes, then panel on the active view will update to what it has been changed to. Does that sound like that would address the issue you’ve noticed?

Show Changes on Active Policies
We are pleased to announce the release of a new feature that allows staff to view changes between the previous and current versions of an active policy. This enhancement brings several benefits to hospital staff:
- Easy Comparison: Staff can now quickly identify modifications made to policies, highlighting additions, deletions, and updates.
- Efficient Review: This feature enables staff to easily refresh their knowledge by focusing on what has changed since they last read or used a particular policy.
- Time-Saving: By streamlining the policy review process, we help save valuable time that can be redirected towards patient care.
How It Works
The version comparison tool is intuitive and user-friendly. When accessing a policy, staff will see an option to ‘Show Changes’ and compare it with the previous version. Differences between versions will be clearly marked, making it simple to spot changes at a glance.
Benefits
- Improved policy awareness
- Reduced time spent on policy reviews
- Enhanced compliance and up-to-date knowledge
- More time for patient care

Links Open in New Tabs
We’re excited to announce a significant improvement to our link handling system:
- All policy links will now open in new tabs by default.
- This change aligns with industry standards and enhances user experience.
- Previously set custom link behaviors will be respected and maintained.
Key Benefits:
- Improved navigation: Users can easily access policy information without losing their place in the main content.
- Reduced frustration: Eliminates the need to use the back button or reopen closed pages.
- Increased productivity: Allows users to reference multiple policies simultaneously.
User Control:
While the default behavior has changed, editors retain the ability to customize link settings according to their preferences.
This update addresses common navigation pain points and streamlines the overall user experience.

Hi Gabe,
This feature has been a great enhancement. Today I noticed when I open the Approval Workflow Details within an active policy that the there are blank fields anywhere the step is assigned to the policy owner. So it will have the name of the step, but the box under it is empty. This was not previously the case. Do you know if this is a temporary issue?
I will reach out via RLDatix message and send you a screenshot.
Hi @enessa.whitten. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Yes, this looks like a defect to me, too. If you could, please submit a support ticket. You’ll get tracking on the issue and be notified when it’s updated or resolved.
Unshare EPS templates from a single location
Admins can now un-share Enterprise Policy Sharing templates for a single location at a time after it has been pushed out to multiple locations. Prior to this feature, it was not possible unless the policy was edited and reapproved.
