			A '''protocol system''' is a comprehensive set of rules and conventions that dictate how data is transmitted and received across a network. These systems are essential for ensuring reliable and efficient communication between different devices and applications in a networked environment.

	~~In a~~ [[~~Health care\|healthcare~~]] ~~setting~~, ~~a protocol, also called a~~ [[~~medical guideline~~]], ~~is a set~~ of ~~instructions which describe a process to~~ be ~~followed to investigate a particular set of [[Medical findings\|findings]]~~ in ~~a [[patient]]~~, or ~~the method which should be followed to [[Disease Control\|control]]~~ a ~~certain [[disease]]~~.		==Overview==
			Protocol systems are fundamental to the operation of [[computer networks]], including the [[Internet]]. They define the syntax, semantics, and synchronization of communication, as well as error recovery methods. Protocols can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both.

	== ~~Passive protocol systems~~ ==		==Components of a Protocol System==
	Passive protocol systems are a source of information which health care providers have the freedom to choose to consult or not; they are not intrinsically incorporated into the healthcare process. The purpose of a passive protocol system ~~is to give healthcare providers access to information which may remind healthcare providers~~ of ~~steps during patient care which may otherwise be forgotten or changed.<ref name="auto"/>~~		A protocol system typically consists of several key components:

	~~== Active protocol systems ==~~		* '''Syntax''': This refers to the structure or format of the data, meaning the order in which data is presented. For example, the [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol]] (HTTP) specifies how messages are formatted and transmitted.
	~~Active protocol systems are specific guidelines for healthcare providers~~ to ~~follow. They are a central way~~ which ~~healthcare~~ is ~~delivered~~. Examples of active protocol systems include trigger-automated [[order entry]] systems and appointment scheduling. Active protocol systems may provide an explanation function which offers background information, definitions, [[~~risk~~]]s, and ~~the rationale that supports specific recommendations~~.~~<ref name="auto"/>~~

	~~== References ==~~		* '''Semantics''': This defines the meaning of each section of bits. It specifies the control information for coordination and error handling.
	~~{{Reflist}}~~

	~~{{DEFAULTSORT~~:Protocol ~~system}}~~		* '''Timing''': This includes the speed matching and sequencing of data. Timing ensures that data is sent and received at the correct speed and in the correct order.
	[[~~Category~~:~~Health informatics~~]]
	[[~~Category~~:~~Medical terminology~~]]		==Types of Protocols==
	[[~~Category:Healthcare quality~~]]		Protocol systems can be categorized based on their function and the layer of the [[OSI model]] they operate in:
	[[Category:~~Medical guidelines~~]]
	~~{{No image}}~~		* '''Application Layer Protocols''': These include protocols like [[HTTP]], [[File Transfer Protocol\|FTP]], and [[Simple Mail Transfer Protocol\|SMTP]], which are used for specific applications.

			* '''Transport Layer Protocols''': Protocols such as [[Transmission Control Protocol\|TCP]] and [[User Datagram Protocol\|UDP]] manage the delivery of data between devices.

			* '''Network Layer Protocols''': These include [[Internet Protocol\|IP]], which is responsible for addressing and routing packets of data.

			* '''Data Link Layer Protocols''': Protocols like [[Ethernet]] and [[Point-to-Point Protocol\|PPP]] manage the node-to-node data transfer.

			==Functionality==
			Protocol systems ensure that data is transmitted accurately and efficiently. They handle various tasks such as:

			* '''Error Detection and Correction''': Protocols include mechanisms to detect and correct errors that occur during data transmission.

			* '''Flow Control''': This prevents a fast sender from overwhelming a slow receiver by managing the rate of data transmission.

			* '''Congestion Control''': Protocols help manage network congestion by controlling the amount of data entering the network.

			==Importance in Networking==
			Protocol systems are crucial for the interoperability of different network devices and applications. They enable devices from different manufacturers to communicate effectively, ensuring that data is exchanged in a standardized manner. Without protocol systems, the global connectivity provided by the Internet would not be possible.

In a [[Health care|healthcare]] setting, a protocol, also called a [[medical guideline]], is a set of instructions which describe a process to be followed to investigate a particular set of [[Medical findings|findings]] in a [[patient]], or the method which should be followed to [[Disease Control|control]] a certain [[disease]].

== Passive protocol systems ==
Passive protocol systems are a source of information which health care providers have the freedom to choose to consult or not; they are not intrinsically incorporated into the healthcare process. The purpose of a passive protocol system is to give healthcare providers access to information which may remind healthcare providers of steps during patient care which may otherwise be forgotten or changed.<ref name="auto"/>

== Active protocol systems ==
Active protocol systems are specific guidelines for healthcare providers to follow. They are a central way which healthcare is delivered. Examples of active protocol systems include trigger-automated [[order entry]] systems and appointment scheduling. Active protocol systems may provide an explanation function which offers background information, definitions, [[risk]]s, and the rationale that supports specific recommendations.<ref name="auto"/>
