ventilator protocols 

The use of such protocols represents an effective strategy for standardizing medical practices within medical institutions. The potential benefits associated with such standardization of medical practices include improvements in patient outcomes, reducing medical care costs, enabling the identification of clinical practices requiring change or improvement, and establishing a foundation for the performance of quality improvement efforts. Standardized medical practices and protocols achieve such benefits primarily by helping to create less variable or "chaotic" medical environments. This occurs by decreasing errors in clinical management, improving the effectiveness of available treatments, increasing the accountability of medical providers, and providing a reference of measure to assess practices that deviate from the accepted standard.
