The policy management system uses a simple 2-step workflow with integrated verification
Upload regulations, bulletins, and reference documents for citation verification.
View Library →Track surveys, CAPs, POCs. Automatically linked to policy reviews.
View History →Track which policies are completed vs. missing. Auto-syncs with reviews.
View Tracker →The foundation of citation verification - upload your regulatory documents here
Add PDF, DOCX, or paste text directly. The system extracts searchable content.
Documents are indexed by type (State, Federal, MCO, Internal) and searchable by citation.
When you review a policy, the system checks if cited regulations exist in your library.
The system verifies citations actually exist in the source document, catching GPT hallucinations.
The more complete your Source Library, the better the verification. Upload the full text of regulations, not just summaries.
Create optimized prompts for ChatGPT that include all relevant regulations
Type the policy name (e.g., "Criminal Background Check Policy")
System automatically identifies relevant regulations from your Source Library
Click "Generate" then copy the full prompt with embedded regulation context
Paste the prompt into ChatGPT. It will generate a policy draft in SHC format.
Automatically identifies which regulations apply based on policy topic keywords
Generated prompts instruct GPT to use SHC's 12-section policy format
Embeds actual regulation text from Source Library into the prompt
Prompts include relevant past survey findings so GPT addresses them
Never trust GPT output without verification. Always run the generated policy through the Policy Reviewer (Step 2) to verify citations.
The comprehensive verification tool - validates citations, checks format, and links to compliance history
Checks if regulatory citations actually exist in your Source Library. Catches GPT hallucinations.
Automatically links policy to related DOH/MCO survey findings from Compliance History.
Checks if policy addresses commitments made in past POCs/CAPs. Shows which requirements are met.
Links to Requirements Tracker. Mark requirements complete or add new policies to tracker.
Verifies policy has all 12 required sections per SHC format standard.
Checks for outdated dates, placeholder text, version mismatches, missing effective dates.
Track policy versions, status (Draft→Review→Approved→Published), and save revision history.
Detects overdue reviews, missing approvals, draft status, and unresolved survey findings.
Clean, formatted version of the policy with proper section headings. Download as PDF.
Full report with verification results, related findings, action items. Download as PDF.
Generated prompt to ask ChatGPT for a deeper review of the policy content.
Track all surveys, audits, CAPs, POCs, and findings in a timeline view
DOH on-site or re-licensure surveys
MCO monitoring visits, limited reviews
Corrective Action Plans from MCO monitoring
Plans of Correction from DOH surveys
Individual audit findings, citations
Closure letters, follow-up approvals
Visual timeline showing all events chronologically
Quick filters to find specific events
Link findings to related policies
Track resolved vs open findings
JSON, CSV, or full text report
Your compliance history is already loaded with Silver Home Care's actual survey and monitoring events:
Track which policies are completed vs. missing based on regulatory requirements
Analyze your Source Library documents to identify required policies
Add requirements manually with priority level and regulatory source
Mark requirements as completed. View compliance percentage.
When you review a policy, you can mark matching requirements complete
Required for licensure or cited in recent survey findings
Required by regulation but not currently cited
Best practice or optional internal policy
The tracker calculates your overall compliance percentage: (Completed ÷ Total) × 100
The system that catches GPT hallucinations and verifies regulatory citations
ChatGPT can hallucinate regulatory citations. It may cite sections that don't exist, misquote requirements, or reference outdated regulations. Using unverified citations in your policies can lead to:
System scans policy text for citation patterns (§611.52, Chapter 52, etc.)
Each citation is searched in your uploaded regulatory documents
System verifies the citation exists AND the referenced content makes sense
Each citation gets a confidence level: High, Medium, or Low
Citation found in Source Library AND text context matches
Citation recognized as valid PA Code but not in your Source Library
Citation not found anywhere - may be hallucinated or misspelled
Before finalizing any policy, ensure all citations are either HIGH confidence or manually verified. Upload missing regulations to your Source Library to improve verification.
The standard policy format used across all Silver Home Care policies
Policy title, number, effective date, version, department
Why the policy exists, what it aims to accomplish
Who the policy applies to (staff, departments, clients)
Key terms and their meanings within this policy
The actual policy rules, procedures, and requirements
Required records, forms, and documentation
Non-compliance consequences, disciplinary actions
When policy will be reviewed (typically annually)
Related policies, procedures, forms
Regulations cited with full citation codes
Version history with dates and changes
Survey preparation notes, audit checkpoints
Tips for getting the most out of the policy management system
Cause: Source Library doesn't contain the cited
regulation.
Fix: Upload the full regulation text to Source
Library. Make sure to include the actual section numbers (§611.52,
etc.) in the document.
Cause: Compliance History may be empty or
findings not linked to policies.
Fix: Add your survey/monitoring events to
Compliance History and tag related policies.
Cause: Section headers don't match expected
patterns.
Fix: Use exact section names: "I. Purpose", "II.
Scope", etc. with Roman numerals.
Cause: Title format not recognized.
Fix: Use format "🧾 Policy Title: [Name]" or
"Policy Title: [Name]" at the start of the document.
