====== Standard practice ======
 

[[Standard]] [[practice]] refers to a widely accepted way of doing something that is considered to be the most [[efficient]], [[effective]], or appropriate [[method]] based on established [[norm]]s, [[principle]]s, and [[procedure]]s. It is a set of [[guideline]]s, [[procedure]]s, or [[protocol]]s that are commonly used in a particular field to ensure [[consistency]], [[quality]], and [[safety]].

Standard practices can be established through [[research]], [[analysis]], and [[experience]]. They are often developed by professional [[organization]]s, [[government]] agencies, or [[industry]] groups to provide guidance to practitioners in their respective fields. Adhering to standard practices helps to minimize [[error]]s, improve [[outcome]]s, and ensure that work is done in a consistent and reliable manner.

Examples of standard practices include:

Medical [[procedure]]s: Standard practices are established to guide medical professionals in diagnosing, treating, and managing various health conditions.
