The purpose of healthcare laws, policy and procedures is to provide standardization in daily operational activities. Through the many years working with policies and procedures in healthcare, it has become clear that they are essential in providing clarity when dealing with issues and activities that are critical to health and safety, legal liabilities and regulatory requirements.
