Treatment protocols

Where to find clinical guidelines and standards — a source catalog

Details

  • Clinical guidelines

    MOH orders 'On approval of...' — state standards; catalog on the MOH/DEC website.

  • Unified clinical protocols

    UCPMC — mandatory per-nosology algorithms; local facility protocols can't contradict them.

  • Evidence-based medicine

    NICE, UpToDate, Cochrane — international sources for decisions outside Ukrainian protocols.

  • Deviations

    Off-protocol treatment is legal with justification in medical records and informed consent.

A protocol isn't a 'recommendation' but a legal standard: in disputes courts check UCPMC compliance. Document any deviation's justification in writing.
