Clinics need a standard format for all P&Ps. A typical format begins with the policy purpose, continues with the policy statement, and concludes with a step-by-step description of the procedures required to implement the policy.

All P&Ps should be marked as either “new” or “revised” and should be signed and dated by the individual with the authority to approve and implement them. P&Ps should be reviewed at least annually and revised as necessary.
