The Veteran-centered purpose

“As a Veteran, family member, or caregiver, I need to know the policies before I visit my VA health care system.”

Purpose of the content type

Each VAMC System has a Policies page that includes national policies and system-specific policies. VAMC system editors can view, but not edit national policies. They can edit system-specific policies under Visitation policy, as well as add other system-specific policies, if needed.

Edit a VAMC System Policies Page

1. On your homepage, after logging in, click the name of the section you want to edit.
2. From the content page, click the Content type dropdown menu and select VAMC System Policies Page.
3. Click Apply.
4. Click Edit next to the Policies page in the results list that you want to edit.
5. The Policies page will open. Some information will not be editable because it is national, centralized content that is the same across all healthcare systems. This helps ensure that Veterans get consistent information.
6. You are able to edit and update the Visitation policy and Other policies content.
7. Once you have made your updates, scroll down to Editorial Workflow.
8. Click to select a Save as state and enter a Revision log message. For more information on each state read the Editorial Workflow article.
9. Click Save.
