Hello all,
I'm researching the usage of clinical practice guidelines, a.k.a. practice
parameters, in pediatrics -- specifically focusing on the questions of
whether such guidelines improve the quality of care and whether they reduce
costs of care, in pediatrics. Admittedly, these outcomes (quality, cost)
may be operationalized in various ways; but I would be very interested and
highly grateful if anyone on this list might be able to suggest a recent and
relevant reference or source, or two, for these questions? Many thanks, in
advance, for your time!
Cheers,
Oliver
