Clinical Practice Guidelines
Implementation of evidence-based
clinical practice guidelines is one strategy VHA has embraced to
improve care by reducing variation in practice and systematizing “best practices”. Guidelines, as generic tools to improve
the processes of care for patient cohorts, serve to reduce errors,
and provide consistent quality of care and utilization of resources
throughout the system. Guidelines also are cornerstones for accountability
and facilitate learning and the conduct of research. The guidelines
on this site are those endorsed by VHA's National Clinical Practice
Guidelines Council.
