A simplified, prescriptive radiotherapy protocol without a boost, as described here, is also likely to lead to better compliance and improved quality assurance in future phase III trials.
These communications are focused on the therapist's understanding of the patients GAD and any related comorbidities and how those issues can be addressed in the prescriptive treatment protocol.
The current approaches to developing comprehensive prescriptive QA protocols can be prohibitively time consuming and cost ineffective and may sometimes fail to adequately safeguard patients.
Furthermore, prescriptive trial protocols often determine clinical management, such as patient monitoring, follow-up intervals, prescribing patterns and management of ADEs, and do not reflect NHS practice.
EFSA emphasised at that time that the guidance was not intended to provide a prescriptive experimental test protocol to carry out a 90-day feeding study with whole food/feed, but should be viewed as a help to design, conduct, analyse, report and interpret such studies.
In future trials where set-up reproducibility is an outcome measure, it would be advantageous to use specified fractions to record displacements and to be more prescriptive in the protocol for the correction of errors to enable random and systematic errors to be assessed.
Other commonly used means to restrict nurses independent prescriptive authority are protocols.
All the other countries imposed such stringent restrictions on nurses' independent prescriptive authority via protocols and/or limited formularies of medicines, that the medical profession still has exclusive full jurisdiction over the prescribing task.
Protocols are prescriptive and standardised, with the aim to reduce 'noise' and create the circumstances for ideal implementation.
The protocol was not prescriptive.
