Identification of Need: Recognizing the need for a new protocol or the revision of an existing one. Literature Review: Reviewing current research and guidelines to inform the development or update. Drafting: Creating a draft of the protocol or practice. Stakeholder Review: Obtaining feedback from relevant stakeholders, including nursing staff and other healthcare professionals. Revisions: Making necessary changes based on feedback. Final Approval: Obtaining formal approval from the appropriate governing body, such as the nursing board or hospital administration. Implementation: Rolling out the new or revised protocol and ensuring staff are trained.
