ACP Best Practice Advice
The Clinical Guidelines Committee at ACP develops best practice advice to address the value of diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions for various diseases. The development of these papers involves evaluation of the benefits, harms, and costs and how this can be translated into the value of an intervention. Establishing this balance ensures effective delivery of high-value care.
