PolicyGen AI: Faster Policies Are Just the Beginning

In healthcare, policies aren’t just documents. They guide care, support compliance, and protect patient safety. Yet for policy managers, quality leaders, and accreditation teams, keeping policies current and consistent is getting harder. Regulations evolve quickly. Templates become outdated. Language varies across departments. And every gap creates risk—during surveys and in daily clinical practice.

PolicyGen AI was built to help, but not just by saving time. It was designed to help organizations draft policies with more confidence, consistency, and control.

Why Public AI Tools Fall Short in Healthcare

Many teams are already experimenting with generative AI to get policies started. The challenge isn’t intent – it’s governance.

Public AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot weren’t designed for regulated healthcare environments. When used for policy work, they can introduce real risks:

• No governance or oversight. You can’t see who used AI or how content was generated
• Limited regulatory context. Outputs may not reflect CMS, accreditation organization, or evidence-based standards
• Inconsistent results. Different prompts lead to different drafts across the organization
• Data risk. Content entered into public tools may live outside your control

As Wendy Frasure from University Hospitals shared during our launch webinar:

“People are already using AI tools today, but they’re not always doing it in a safe or governed way. PolicyGen AI lets us bring that activity inside a secure platform where we can guide it, oversee it, and make sure it aligns with our standards.”

For policy and accreditation leaders, that distinction matters.

What Makes PolicyGen AI Different

PolicyGen AI was purpose-built for healthcare and embedded directly into PolicyStat, so it fits naturally into existing workflows.

A controlled environment. PolicyGen AI runs entirely within the RLDatix platform. There’s no copy-and-paste into external tools and no third-party data exposure.

Healthcare-tuned intelligence. The AI understands regulatory language, clinical terminology, and standard policy structure, giving teams a stronger starting point without prompt engineering.

Governance stays in place. Drafts still move through established review and approval workflows. Policy owners remain accountable, and organizations can set clear expectations for AI use.

Consistency at scale. For systems managing policies across multiple hospitals or departments, PolicyGen AI helps standardize language, structure, and safety elements, supporting survey readiness and staff clarity.

As Natalie Plata from Michigan Medicine explained:

“It gives us a consistent foundation. Less variation, clearer guidance, and policies that are easier to follow.”

Real-World Impact Beyond Speed

Yes, PolicyGen AI saves time, but webinar panelists emphasized the broader value.

• Faster response to regulatory change. When new CMS Age-Friendly Care measures were released, University Hospitals generated an initial system-wide draft in minutes—after months of stalled progress.
• Less rework, fewer revisions. Policy owners start with a structured, compliant draft instead of a blank page.
• Stronger alignment to patient safety priorities. Clearer policies help reinforce infection prevention, hand hygiene, standardized workflows, and reduced variation in care.

Governance Is Still the Foundation

One of the most common questions we hear is: Do we need an AI policy before turning this on?

Panelists recommended a practical approach:

• Treat AI as part of policy governance
• Require validation of AI-generated content
• Start with a pilot group and scale intentionally

PolicyGen AI is designed to support this model, giving teams flexibility without sacrificing oversight.

More Than Faster Drafting

By combining a compliant first draft, healthcare-specific intelligence, and a governed environment, PolicyGen AI helps organizations move faster without increasing risk.

Because when policies are clear, consistent, and current, teams work with more confidence and patient care is stronger as a result.

This tool is now available to Policy Management (PolicyStat) customers. If you’re exploring how AI can support policy governance safely and effectively, our team would be glad to connect.
