Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) complement this progress by establishing standards of care backed by strong scientific evidence. CPGs are statements that include recommendations intended to optimize patient care. These statements are informed by a systematic review of evidence and an assessment of the benefits and costs of alternative care options. \u003cem\u003eClinical Practice Guidelines We Can Trust\u003c\/em\u003e examines the current state of clinical practice guidelines and how they can be improved to enhance healthcare quality and patient outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClinical practice guidelines now are ubiquitous in our healthcare system. The Guidelines International Network (GIN) database currently lists more than 3,700 guidelines from 39 countries. Developing guidelines presents a number of challenges including lack of transparent methodological practices, difficulty reconciling conflicting guidelines, and conflicts of interest. \u003cem\u003eClinical Practice Guidelines We Can Trust\u003c\/em\u003e explores questions surrounding the quality of CPG development processes and the establishment of standards. It proposes eight standards for developing trustworthy clinical practice guidelines emphasizing transparency; management of conflict of interest; systematic review--guideline development intersection; establishing evidence foundations for and rating strength of guideline recommendations; articulation of recommendations; external review; and updating.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eClinical Practice Guidelines We Can Trust\u003c\/em\u003e shows how clinical practice guidelines can enhance clinician and patient decision-making by translating complex scientific research findings into recommendations for clinical practice that are relevant to the individual patient encounter, instead of implementing a one size fits all approach to patient care. This book contains information directly related to the work of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), as well as various Congressional staff and policymakers. It is a vital resource for medical specialty societies, disease advocacy groups, health professionals, private and international organizations that develop or use clinical practice guidelines, consumers, clinicians, and payers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Medicine, Board on Health Care Services, Committee on Standards for Developing Tr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309164222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309164221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 227","brand":"Institute of Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077877985535,"sku":"9780309164221","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2110a4c1-46bc-4407-bc56-7c66ea877b5c.jpg?v=1685472272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/clinical-practice-guidelines-we-can-institute-of-medicine-9780309164221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
