In Brazil and Portugal, therapeutic protocols are fundamental to the healthcare system, especially in public hospitals (SUS in Brazil, SNS in Portugal). These protocols ensure standardized treatment and are often mandatory for compliance with healthcare regulations. In the USA, therapeutic protocols are equally important but may vary more between institutions and insurance providers. The term reflects the medical professions' emphasis on evidence-based, standardized care across all Portuguese-speaking and English-speaking countries.
