I'm attaching a checklist for the privacy rule and breach notification rule. You need policies that address each item. Several regulations can be combined into one policy.
Free website with many examples - hipaacow.org
Check out their resources section.

You may also start by reviewing the accreditation standards for which ever organization they use, CMS regulations and state regulations.
Are you also considered the Privacy Officer? That brings in a lot more to consider.

I'm looking for some guidance, I took a new role recently at a small facility that has an HIM department but no real policies in place. I have created some along the way but can't truly remember all the policies that should be in place. Any suggestions on where to find some information or where to even start?
