Evidence Based Medicine Guidelines
Quality of Care
Evidenced based medicine guidelines are intended to assist physicians in clinical decision making by describing a range of generally acceptable approaches for the diagnosis, management, and prevention of specific diseases or conditions. They reflect a consensus of expert opinion after a thorough review of the available, current scientific evidence and are intended to improve quality of patient care.
Clinical decision making should consider the quality and availability of expertise in the area where care is provided. Physicians should deliver patient care according to the highest level of evidence that exists in particularly cases. If these guidelines are used as the basis for decisions, the ultimate goal, optimized quality of care, can be achieved.
