ACP Clinical Recommendations
ACP develops three different types of clinical recommendations: Clinical Practice Guidelines, Clinical Guidance Statements, and Best Practice Advice. ACP's goal is to provide clinicians with recommendations based on the best available evidence; to inform clinicians of when there is no evidence; and finally, to help clinicians deliver the best health care possible.
You can also access ACP Guidelines on your smartphone.
 | Current Guidelines - based on a systematic review of the literature. |
 | Guidance Statements - based on a review of existing guidelines. |
 | Best Practice Advice - developed through a review of available evidence and guidelines. Evaluates the value of diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions. |
