Change Management:
– Step 5: If any modifications are necessary (e.g., change of headquarters address, updates in contact details), the changes must be submitted in writing to the Policy Coordinator. – Step 6: Upon receipt of the change request, the executive leadership evaluates the implications, enforces regulatory compliance mandates, and authorizes the change. – Step 7: Once approved, the updates are communicated to the Compliance and Regulatory Affairs team and then to all relevant departments. The designated IT Support personnel then update all digital and print formats.

Regulatory and External Communication:
– Step 8: Ensure that all regulatory submissions, including TennCare reports and CAC Waiver documentation, include the correct addresses and contact information. – Step 9: Implement a tracking mechanism to log all changes made to the Agency Identification details. This log must include the date of the change, the rationale, and the approving authority.
