What must be done if a patient does not meet protocol indications?

Obtaining on-line medical control authorization prior to initiating treatments listed in the protocols is essential when a patient does not meet protocol indications. This step ensures that any deviation from standard protocols is guided by a medical professional who can provide oversight and make informed decisions based on the specific clinical scenario presented by the patient. It helps ensure patient safety and compliance with medical guidelines.

Without proper authorization, administering treatment could expose the patient to unnecessary risks or ineffective interventions. Engaging medical control fosters a team-based approach to patient care, allowing for customized treatment plans that address individual patient needs while adhering to established medical standards. This process not only protects the patient but also supports the provider's adherence to the protocols and ensures that actions taken are justified and supported by medical authority.
