jalomahe Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Our lab is having a discussion concerning what constitutes a SUBSTANTIAL/SIGNIFICANT change to a policy or procedure that would then require the director to review and approve the change.If you have defined these terms for your lab would you be willing to share. Are your definitions included in a procedure concerning document control. I've seen several document control procedures on various websites that mention the terms but no where do I see the terms actually defined.Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilma_mt Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 CAP's definitions of Minor / Substantial revision...... Minor revision: A revision that does not affect the nature of a policy or the way in which a procedure is conducted. The revision would not affect patient results or patient outcomes. For example, a spelling or grammatical correction would be a minor revision. Substantial revision: A change that affects the nature of a policy or the way in which a procedure is conducted that could impact patient test results or patient outcome.
