Practice standards are the foundation for all areas of clinical practice. Most professions established their clinical practices many years ago and update them regularly to ensure the standards are current. Practice standards along with clinical guidelines give providers a quick reference for their clinical protocols and decision-making without needing to periodically search through new evidence and update their practices accordingly. They also serve as a guide for clinical educators to update their curriculum and ensure that they are teaching to the most current evidence.
