Tailoring Conformance Criteria Allow (and prompt) the user to tailor a function to meet a specific need via the key phrase, ”…according to organizational policy, scope of practice, or jurisdictional law”. If universally practiced, there’s no need to tailor the function. If at least one instance where the function needs to be tailored, we add the corresponding key phrase.
