2. Tips for writing the procedure
a. A procedure is a set of instructions that outlines the steps for performing a task(s).
b. A procedure should tell someone how to do something not just what to do.
c. A procedure breaks a task or tasks into discrete sequential steps.
d. A procedure uses short, active voice/action statements. "Do this" is better than "should do this." For
example, "Place a copy of the signed consent form in the person's case record."
e. A procedure includes timeframes and document expectations, when appropriate. These can include
signatures, copies of forms, case notes, etc.
f. Finally, it is important to test the procedures before fully implementing them.
3. A procedure can be a step-by-step outline or a process description
a. A step-by-step outline breaks the task or tasks into discrete steps. Steps are sequential. Each step is numbered.
Try to limit each step to a single activity.
b. A process description is written as a narrative.
