The Executive Policy Committee

The Executive Policy Committee (EPC) is charged with developing an easily accessible database of all UConn Health Center institution wide policies (i.e., those that include two or more of the following: School of Medicine, School of Dental Medicine, John Dempsey Hospital, University Medical Group, Correctional Managed Health Care, or Central Administration).

Specific activities include:

• Identifying institution wide policies that should be included in the database.
• Reviewing policies and draft policy under consideration for revision and recommending modifications so that they:
  • are clear to understand and interpret consistently
  • do not conflict with other institutional policies
  • have a common format with other policies
• Publishing institution wide policies in an easily accessible database. Assuring indexing for these policies; establishing unique policy numbers; and providing a history of documented and dated approvals of policies and their revisions.
• Assuring that a newly developed policy is vetted through proper channels.
• Assuring that Board of Directors level and relevant University level policies are included for posting.

The EPC does not have the authority to change the content or intent of policies, but may make recommendations for such changes to the committee(s) or persons who do have such authority.
