As the UH Policies and Procedures World Turns�
The Policies and Procedures Website
Is Changing
The UH Policies and Procedures
website is undergoing a facelift to
better serve all users and visitors.
After much work and research by Amy
Iverson (web developer
extraordinaire), the proposed
website is more straightforward,
using tabs and drop-down menus for
information to keep the main website
area clear for current documentation
on SAMs and MAPPs. The archive
information, once located down the
front of the main website page, is
now located on a tab for easier
viewing. The current SAMs and MAPPs
in draft, review and approval cycles
are now displayed on the main
website page for central viewing.
We are very
interested in your feedback on the
various changes that have been made.
Please e-mail your suggestions and
feedback to Peggy Levy, Policies and
Procedures Coordinator, at
palevy@central.uh.edu,
or call 713-743-6885.
The Revision Log � News You Can Use
Current revision information is
documented in the footer of each SAM
and MAPP. Unfortunately, once a
document has been revised at least
once, the previous revision
information is lost in the footer,
since the footer carries only the
original date and the current
revision date.
The solution to this problem is a
revision log. A revision log is a
tracking mechanism used for
Capability Maturity Model
Integration (CMMI) and International
Organization for Standardization
(ISO) documentation to maintain
document history standards. Many
businesses in the public and private
sectors use revision logs to
maintain higher standards for their
documentation and provide auditors
with easier access to historical
information.
Revision logs will be placed at the
end of each SAM and MAPP being
approved beginning in Quarter 1,
2011, and will be added to each
document as revisions take place. An
example of a revision log is located
below:
Stay Tuned - the Policies and
Procedures world is still turning �
and changing for the better!
