CANEDO ANDALIA, Rubén. Clinical practice guidelines: what are, where and how to look for them. ACIMED [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.2, pp. 146-159. ISSN 1024-9435.
In the late twentieth century, quality became a central aspect of the debate on health care. The exercise of a medicine that uses conscious, explicit and rationally the best clinical evidence available to make decisions about patient care involves integrating individual clinical expertise with evidence or evidence of more consistent and reliable result of the advancement of clinical research, appropriate for both the patient and his condition and the doctor and the existing clinical setting. However, finding this evidence for each clinical question is not an easy task to accomplish. It then requires new tools to properly integrate valid information and create a basis for making rational decisions. We study in detail what, where and how to find clinical practice guidelines and the importance of the National Guideline Clearinghouse access to such documents. The clinical practice guidelines are powerful allies for a more secure modern medicine.
