What is in Progress – Clinical Document Development
Purpose of Awareness
The Clinical Document Development Intake Process assists Clinical Standards to populate this page.
The purpose of this webpage is to:
- inform clinical teams around the province what is in provincial clinical development;
- connect teams to work they may be interested in or have a vested interest in that is in development; and
- assist clinical teams with planning for implementation by having an awareness of what clinical projects are in progress.
