Patients are increasingly holding health professionals to account for their care. The practice of standard setting has important legal implications. Standard setting can be seen to aid the communication process in healthcare and can therefore help avoid expensive litigation. Standard setting can improve the quality of patient care. Standard documentation could be disclosed in a medical/nursing negligence case. Standards should not be automatically applied. Standard setting can be patchy, misdirected and irrelevant to actual problems. Standards can create unreal patient expectations of care. Patient care may suffer if unrealistic or unreasonable standards are in place. Standard setting can show that there is a controlled environment of care.
All professional nursing activities carry legal implications as nurses owe a legal duty of care to their patients. As primary nursing is being increasingly adopted as a system of organizing care nurses need to be aware of the accountability it entails.
