Description
The Information Technology Medical Center Applications (also known as IT MC Apps) at the American University of Beirut maintains a set of internal Administrative Control Documents (ACDs) to govern and guide its work, processes and systems under the direct supervision of ACT-IT committee (Administrative Control Team-Information Technology).
In general, ACDs are developed to:
• Address potential risks
• Introduce new services in a structured way
• Address regulatory and accreditations requirements
• Standardize a process or function to avoid variance in implementation of a common procedure
There are currently 4 types of ACDs at IT MC:
• Policy
• Standardized Operating Procedure (SOP)
• Guideline
• Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
Each ACD falls under the owner’s specific specialty and has a defined scope of application. There are currently 11 application services at IT MC: Development and Integration, Research, Training, Imaging, Revenue cycle, Clinical, Data Intelligence-Analytics, Systems, Information Security, Network, and Tele communication (Refer to the IT Manual for more information).
Hence, the purpose of this project is to organize and oversee the process of preparing, approving, circulating, indexing, publishing, and reviewing IT MC Apps’ ACDs.
