Institutional protocols are crucial for several reasons:
1. Patient Safety: Protocols help minimize errors and adverse events by providing clear instructions for various medical and nursing procedures. 2. Consistency: They ensure that all healthcare providers follow the same procedures, leading to uniform care delivery. 3. Compliance: Adhering to established guidelines helps institutions comply with legal and regulatory requirements. 4. Efficiency: Standardized procedures streamline workflows, making care delivery more efficient.
