evidence based clinical practice guidelines are included in? - Answers summaries
what are clinical practice guidelines? - Answers statements that include recommendations intended to
optimize patient care that are informed by a systematic review of evidence and an assessment of the
benefits and arms of alternative care options
purpose of clinical practical guidelines? - Answers to make specific recommendations for clinical practice
based on the best available evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preference
what clinical practice guidelines are NOT? - Answers NOT mandates intended to be followed rigidly and
without question
putting guidelines into action must take into account factors such as? (5) - Answers - individual patient
needs, values, preferences
- possible harms as well as benefits of alternative care options
- comorbidities that might change expectations
- availability and affordability of recommended care options
- likelihood of adherence/acceptance
CG vs SR: scope? - Answers CG= whole process of patient management
SR= single aspect of patient care
CG vs SR: developers? - Answers CG= multidisciplinary team
SR= small group of researchers
CG vs SR: implications for practice? - Answers CG= specific, actionable recommendations
SR= clinical must determine their own action
CG vs SR: validity? - Answers CG= depends on methods used
, SR= depends on methods used
CG vs SR: time frame? - Answers CG= may be expensive and time-consuming to produce
SR= may be developed relatively quickly
CG vs SR: availability? - Answers CG= widely disseminated in guidline-specific databases, etc

evidence-informed
evidence-based
consensus-based approach? - Answers developed by expert clinicians whose personal biases shape the
