VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guidelines
VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guidelines
Clinical practice guidelines are increasingly being used in health care to improve patient care and as a potential solution to reduce inappropriate variations in care. Guidelines should be evidence-based as well as based upon explicit criteria to ensure consensus regarding their internal validity.
The use of guidelines must always be in the context of a health care provider's clinical judgment in the care of a particular patient. For that reason, the guidelines may be viewed as an educational tool to provide information and assist decision making.
