| practice guideline | A set of directions or principles to assist the health care practitioner with patient care decisions about appropriate diagnostic, therapeutic, or other clinical procedures for specific clinical circumstances. Practice guidelines may be developed by government agencies at any level, institutions, organizations such as professional societies or governing boards, or by the convening of expert panels. They can provide a foundation for assessing and evaluating the quality and effectiveness of health care in terms of measuring improved health, reduction of variation in services or procedures performed, and reduction of variation in outcomes of health care delivered.

| practice guidelines |
are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances. These can simply be broad statements or be very detailed based on literature review as well as expert opinion. Typically, clinical guidelines reflect more than local consensus regarding appropriate diagnosis and treatment of a condition. Clinical guidelines also can be developed to describe the indications for procedures and the process of care.
