Question

Answer 1

#. Protocols are documents that describe the "best practice" of a specific intervention as applied to a specific group of clients or client needs that have been standardized and result from recent research evidence, literature reviews, or professional consensus. Protocols document the purposeful procedures used to deliver intervention to clients, and provide a basis for evaluating the efficancy of those procedures. Either based on intervention/treatment or diagnostic groups/client problems.

The use of clinical protocols allows health care providers to offer appropriate diagnostic treatment and care services to patients, variance reports to purchasers and quality training to clinical staff. Such benefits may be maximized by using protocols within the framework of an electronic patient record system.
