Abstract

Creating protocols surrounding the guidance of the prevention and treatment of infections in transplantation is an integral part of being a transplant infectious disease physician. This piece outlines the key components for success in developing a protocol, with an example protocol and protocol template available for readers. Collaborating effectively within the multi-disciplinary team to develop, implement, and assess the efficacy of a protocol is a skill that enhances the relationship with our transplantation colleagues and improves patient outcomes by standardizing the care delivered.
