Abstract
Every day in interventional radiology (IR) is different from the one before and one that follows. There are procedures performed daily and others that may occur less frequently. In addition, each of the many procedures IR offers has a unique protocol. This clinical variation and inconsistent occurrence can create a large margin for error and put patient outcomes at risk. Studies have shown that variability in healthcare delivery can potentiate error, but standardization can decrease unnecessary variables and reduce potential harm. The World Health Organization and accrediting bodies such as The Joint Commission support the use of standardized clinical practice guidelines, and they are recognizable in existing processes such as Universal Protocol and critical care pathways.
