A framework for clinical protocols.

Abstract

By April 1994, all provider units should have started to develop clinical protocols. Despite some difficulties involved in their development, protocols potentially offer a variety of benefits. The author describes a framework within which clinical protocols can be devised. By using the stages of this framework, nurses can be assisted in working with the patient, collaborating with other disciplines, clarifying channels of communication, and demonstrating the value of their own contribution to care.
