- Title
Identifying and Using Good Practice Guidelines.
- Authors
LIN, KENNETH W.; SLAWSON, DAVID C.
- Abstract
Performance measurement and payment are increasingly linked to goals established by practice guidelines. The best guidelines are based on systematic reviews and patient-oriented evidence, use an evidence- rating system such as the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy, and are prospectively validated. The guidelines also should have a transparent development process, identify potential conflicts of interest, and offer flexibility in various clinical situations.
