Nursing Resources: Find Clinical Practice Guidelines

Clinical Practice Guidelines

Clinical practice guidelines are statements to assist a practitioner to make decisions about appropriate health care in certain clinical circumstances. 
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) defines clinical practice guidelines as "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 harms of alternative care options" (https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/node/80397).
