ABSTRACT
This chapter provides consultants through the steps for launching consultants’ Paired-cell Overlapping Loops of Cards with Authorization (POLCA) system. As a brief reminder about the responsibilities of the POLCA Champion, a key role is to serve as a central point of contact to whom questions regarding the operation of the POLCA system can be directed. Another important role of the POLCA Champion is to serve as the liaison between the POLCA Implementation Team and upper management. During the initial phases of the launch, it is beneficial to schedule frequent review sessions by the POLCA Implementation Team. The POLCA Implementation Team should decide this based on the particulars of consultants’ system operation. To complement these POLCA Implementation Team meetings, consultants should also plan for and schedule frequent report-outs to upper management. The chapter concludes with designing and launching consultants’ POLCA system.
