implementation

and other appropriate individuals
in the development of policies

healthcare in their organization

are also included to help guide the

and procedures specific to their
organization

Online Resource:

The BOC has a free, online tool available to help assist in the identification of policies that might be necessary for any organization offering athletic training services. Worksheets help individuals decide if the organization needs policies and procedures for areas including employee safety, facility management, patient safety, privacy/ confidentiality and risk management. In addition, links to external resources are provided to help guide the development of policies and procedures.
