Universal Protocol = Verification of correct patient/site/side, etc.
New policies for Universal Protocol can be found on Meditech. This policy applies to invasive procedures (central line placement, biopsies, chest tubes, etc) or any time procedural sedation is used. Site marking is done by the physician on any procedure where laterality is involved and should be done while the patient is not sedated.
