Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 8 EBP 1056 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Guidelines Reduce Variation
Captions available
The idea
Clinical practice guidelines exist to reduce unwarranted variation in care and to improve population health outcomes.
In practice
Two regions treating the same condition very differently, without a difference in their patients.
Where people slip
Not all variation is unwarranted. Guidelines target the variation that has no basis, not the variation patients need.
