Policy authoring requires collaboration across clinical, operational, and compliance teams. You can control who can access Policy Studio and what actions they can take through configurable role-based permissions.
Sample roles:
Admin – Full access to manage configurations, assign work, and oversee all policies
Writer – Can edit and comment on policies during drafting and updates
Peer reviewer – Can edit and comment, typically assigned to clinical experts validating medical accuracy
Clinical reviewer – Can comment and approve but not edit content directly
Implementer – Manages policy deployments without editing policy content
Viewer – Read-only access to finalized policies for stakeholders and auditors
Why roles matter
Role separation enforces governance. Writers can't implement their own policies without review. Clinical experts validate content before production. Implementers control deployment timing based on operational readiness.
Version control tracks who made changes in which role, creating audit trails that show appropriate clinical oversight at each stage. When policies move from draft to production, the system enforces your approval workflow through permission boundaries.
Configure roles during implementation
Who drafts content? (Writer)
Who validates clinical accuracy? (Peer reviewer, Clinical reviewer)
Who approves final versions? (Admin, Clinical reviewer)
Who schedules go-live dates? (Implementer)
Who needs visibility without editing? (Viewer)
Clear role definitions prevent workflow bottlenecks and ensure policies move through appropriate review stages before reaching production systems.
