Standing order

A written protocol authorizing a specific action for a defined group of patients meeting set criteria.

Why it matters

Standing orders can support consistency but must align with state scope and delegation rules.

State variation

How Standing order 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.
