A physician’s office and a hospital employ different terminology and process flow when maintaining records and monitoring patient flow. Why is there no set protocol that is used by all healthcare settings?

Because each setting has different priorities, levels of protocol, and escalation of issues. Therefore, each setting needs to employ terminology and language that is specific to their points of care.
