It ensures [[consistency]], [[accuracy]], and ethical standards in [[healthcare]] practices. ---- The [[study]] [[protocol]] is a document outlining the design of a study, describing the [[objective]]s, [[methodology]] and overall organization of the [[research]] to be carried out forming a [[template]] and guide to the research process as a whole. ---- [[Clinical protocol]], has a more specific meaning. It describes a [[method]] to be used in a [[clinical trial]] (e.g. of a drug or medical treatment) or a medical [[research]] study. A set of rules is followed by providers such as EMTs or nurses. Often considered to be stricter than a [[guideline]], and to carry more weight with the law, but there is no hard evidence to support this view and the terms are usually used interchangeably. ====Examples==== see [[Stupp protocol]]. protocol.txt Last modified: 2025/06/14 09:15by administrador
