Misconception: A Guideline Is Current Because It Is Published
Captions available
The idea
A guideline is current if it has been developed, reviewed or revised recently and says so. Publication date is not revision date.
In practice
A guideline available online for a decade without review.
Where people slip
Nothing about an out-of-date guideline looks out of date. Only the documentation shows it.
