A word (or more) of caution
This ‘single topic’ medical toolbox is ‘generic’ and must be revised and adopted by your health care organization to be consistent with state and local laws, your organization’s by-laws and to meet the requirements of your organization’s legal counsel and governance.
Use clear and unambiguous language in any stated policy or procedure. Avoid any implications of guaranteed clinical results or outcomes as a result of following a particular guideline. All policies, procedures, guidelines and similar criteria should be followed consistently, justification noted for significant variations, and be in a written form available for dissemination.
When using this single topic publication, it should be noted that the policies/guidelines are all subject to legislative and other changes (e.g., by-laws revisions) that occur periodically. The policies and procedures should be reviewed and updated as often as needed and at least every two years. The initial and revised policies and procedures should go through a rigid review and approval process with final approval by the governing body prior to implementation.
