Hospital Policies & Handbook Upon joining NVA your Hospital Specific policies will remain intact. You may already have a handbook or manual which will continue to be used in your hospital. After joining NVA, you will work with our HR team to review the handbook and ensure it is state and federally compliant. Should there be areas of your handbook/manual that you wish to update or amend at any point please let your HR Specialist know. Examples of a Hospital Handbook can be located on NVAShare.
