Abstract:   (442 Views)
Best Practice (BP) is defined as "successful" actions, processes, methods, approaches, and techniques that have somehow been proven to be "optimal and effective" in a "certain area". These approaches can be recommended, adapted, and used by other administrations and institutions due to their success history, and nowadays, have a pivotal role, both as an "index" and as a "policy-making tool".
In this article, we have discussed the definition, types, formation, and role of BPs in the policy-making of corporations, especially higher education and health-oriented institutions. At the end, we have introduced the ongoing project of "Development of BPs at School of medicine in Guilan University of Medical Sciences".
