healthcare practices

Clinical treatment methods

Healthcare practices are the methods, procedures, and routines used to maintain or improve health.

The term covers everything from clinical medicine to preventive care: evidence-based healthcare practices, traditional healthcare practices.

A healthcare practice (singular) can also mean a medical business—a doctor's office or clinic: She runs a small family healthcare practice in rural Oregon.
