Facility-specific standards of practice, operating procedures, and medical staff bylaws can vary by location and by department. Assuming consistency across sites creates avoidable risk. In this video, Pamela Chambers, DNP, EJD, MSN, CRNA, CPPS, CPCHE, FAANA, outlines why it is essential for clinicians to understand the specific guidelines of the environment in which they practice, and how that diligence supports patient safety, regulatory compliance, and professional protection.
The guidelines suggested here are not rules, do not constitute legal advice, and do not ensure a successful outcome. The ultimate decision regarding the appropriateness of any treatment must be made by each healthcare provider considering the circumstances of the individual situation and in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the care is rendered.
