Clinical Practice Guidelines
Clinical practice guidelines, as defined by the Institute of Medicine, are recommendations based on the systematic review of evidence as well as the potential harm and benefit of a health care intervention.
There are many sources for clinical practice guidelines from health-care organizations and professional bodies at the local, regional, or national level. Like all sources of information, clinical guidelines should be critically evaluated.
These resources can be used to search for a wide variety of clinical guidelines.
