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.
