Standard Operating Procedure
A documented set of steps and standards governing a clinical or operational activity, used to support consistency across the practice.
Why it matters
Clear SOPs support consistent care, reduce documentation gaps, and help new staff follow practice standards.
State variation
How Standard Operating Procedure applies can differ by state, provider credentials, and the treatments offered. NOVI’s state pages summarize the considerations for Texas, Florida, and California — but always confirm current rules for your jurisdiction with official sources.
