    ARTICLE 7. STANDARDIZED PROCEDURE GUIDELINES

    1470. Purpose
    The Board of Registered Nursing in conjunction with the Division of Allied Health Professions of the board of
    Medical Quality Assurance (see the regulations of the Board of Medical Quality Assurance, Article 9.5, Chapter 13,
    Title 16 of the California Code of Regulations) intends, by adopting the regulations contained in the article, to jointly
    promulgate guidelines for the development of standardized procedures to be used in organized health care systems
    which are subject to this rule. The purpose of these guidelines is:
    (a) To protect consumers by providing evidence that the nurse meets all requirements to practice safely.
    (b) To provide uniformity in development of standardized procedures.

    1471. Definitions
    For purposes of this article:
    (a) "Standardized procedure functions" means those functions specified in Business and Professions Code Section
    2725(c) and (d) which are to be performed according to "standardized procedures";
    (b) "Organized health care system" means a health facility which is not licensed pursuant to Chapter 2
    (commencing with Section 1250), Division 2 of the Health and Safety Code and includes, but is not limited to, clinics,
    home health agencies, physicians' offices and public or community health services;
    (c) "Standardized procedures" means policies and protocols formulated by organized health care systems for the
    performance of standardized procedure functions.

    1472. Standardized Procedure Functions


    An organized health care system must develop standardized procedures before permitting registered nurses to
    perform standardized procedure functions. A registered nurse may perform standardized procedure functions only
    under the conditions specified in a health care system's standardized procedures; and must provide the system with
    satisfactory evidence that the nurse meets its experience, training, and/or education requirements to perform such
    functions.
