Chapter 1: Overview |
...the purpose of the VIHA Practice
Change Implementation Workbook is to provide you with
a variety of resources needed for implementing clinical
and professional standards as well as practice change.
...implementers will employ the suggested resources differently
for each implementation effort because each Standard,
practice change, organizational context, staff and patient
population will vary along with each clinical condition.
...standards may be presented in several
different forms such as policies, procedures, protocols,
clinical guidelines, care maps, clinical pathways and
competencies.
