System and method for managing and implementing procedures and practices

A method of modifying a standard for actions in a procedure, comprising:

• retrieving, from a memory of a computer system, a message relating to a standard for one or more actions in the procedure;
• sending, to one or more responsible persons within the organization, at least one message relating to one or more actions to be carried out by at least one of the responsible persons;
• receiving, in the computer system, at least one feedback item from the at least one responsible person about at least one of the actions;
• modifying, in the computer system, at least one standard based on the at least one feedback item received from the responsible person;
• and
• storing, in the memory of the computer system, the modified standard.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store program instructions executable by the processor to implement:
• retrieving, from a memory of a computer system, a message relating to a standard for one or more actions in the procedure;
• sending, to one or more responsible persons within the organization, at least one message relating to one or more actions to be carried out by at least one of the responsible persons;
• receiving, in the computer system, at least one feedback item from the at least one responsible person about at least one of the actions;
• modifying, in the computer system, at least one standard based on the at least one feedback item received from the responsible person;
• and
• storing, in the memory of the database, the modified standard.

A tangible, computer readable medium comprising program instructions, wherein the program instructions are computer-executable to implement:

• retrieving, from a memory of a computer system, a message relating to a standard for one or more actions in the procedure;
• sending, to one or more responsible persons within the organization, at least one message relating to one or more actions to be carried out by at least one of the responsible persons;
• receiving, in the computer system, at least one feedback item from the at least one responsible person about at least one of the actions;
• modifying, in the computer system, at least one standard based on the at least one feedback item received from the responsible person;
• and
• storing, in the memory of the database, the modified standard.

A method of carrying out a procedure, comprising

• retrieving, from a memory of a database, information content relating to a standard for one or more actions in the procedure;
• automatically generating, by a computer system, at least one message based on the retrieved information content, wherein the message relates to a standard for one or more actions to be carried out by at least one of the responsible persons in the procedure;
• and
• automatically sending, by the computer system, to the at least one responsible person, the at least one message relating to one or more actions to be carried out by at least one of the responsible persons in the procedure.

A method for providing information to clients for carrying out procedures, comprising:

• storing, in a memory coupled to a computer system, content relating to one or more actions to be carried out by one or more clients in one or more procedures;
• determining one or more milestones for at least one of the procedures;
• retrieving content relating to at least one of the milestones;
• generating, by the computer system, at least one content message relating to at least one of the milestones;
• and
• sending the at least one content messages to one or more of the clients.

A system for managing standards for procedures in one or more organizations, comprising:

• a memory comprising a database configured to store data relating to one or more standards for one or more procedures of one or more organizations, wherein each of at least one of the procedures is associated with one or more content owners;
• a procedure engine configured to:
• automatically send, to one or more content users, one or more content messages associated with a workflow timeline for one or more procedures, wherein at least part of the content messages are based, at least in part, on one or more of standards for the procedure;
• and
• automatically receive, from one or more of the content users, feedback about one or more of the content messages associated with the workflow timeline for the procedure,
• wherein the information relating to the at least one standard is based, at least in part, on the feedback from at least one of the content users.
