PIER Documents
The following spreadsheet is a list of documents that will be repealed March 6, 2025 when the Enteral Feeding Clinical Standard and Procedures are effective. It is available during the training period so clinical teams are aware of what is being replaced or partially replaced.
As a reminder, SHA Clinical Standards and Procedures replace all related departmental, unit or former health region documents.
Clinical teams may need to update local operational work standards to align with this provincial work before they continue to use them and remove from circulation all local documents that are now replaced by these new provincial documents.
Connect with Clinical Standards if other repeals are identified that are not on the list below.
