    Standard Operating Procedure (Sops) For Hospitals

    Uploaded by

    Jc Razalas
    Standard operating procedures (SOPs) outline the specific steps to be taken when performing certain tasks or activities. They define what should be done, when, where, and by whom. SOPs are important for hospitals because they ensure quality, consistency, and recognized practice are followed. They avoid confusion among staff by defining everyone's duties and responsibilities. SOPs also provide guidance for new staff and remain applicable regardless of changes in management. When preparing SOPs, they should include an introduction, objectives, scope, organogram, staffing, procedures, responsibilities, checklists, and any other relevant information to exhaustively document the standard processes.
