Clinical Guidelines

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are statements that include recommendations intended to optimize patient care. They are informed by a systematic review of evidence, and an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative care options. CPGs should follow a sound, transparent methodology to translate best evidence into clinical practice for improved patient outcomes. Additionally, evidence-based CPGs are a key aspect of patient-centered care. (AAFP Clinical Practice Guideline Manual, 2017)
