Policy writing?

Can anyone give me some guidance on policy writing?  I work for a small infusion company.  We previously had a DON and now no longer operate with one since we only have 3 FT nurses.  I discovered some of our policies are lacking.  

What are policies based on and where would find this information?  I have never held a position where writing policies was one of my job duties so I don't really know what I'm doing or where to start.

    My Radiologist-boss's advice when I first was tasked with writing department policies: write what you do.  I would also review older policies, and perhaps policies from other departments, for format questions and the general "feel" of what to include.

    A lot of organizations have policies that you can find online through a Google. No need to reinvent the wheel.

    When I worked in homecare I went online and found policies from other agencies and used those as templates and tweaked them to our needs. It worked really well.

    See if you have access to The Compliance Store. If so, you can find a lot of good foundational policies there to tailor to your needs
