Synopsis

Pocket-size for on-the-spot consultation in the clinic and on the wards, this book gathers together recognized screening and primary prevention and treatment recommendations in a readily accessible format to facilitate clinical decision-making. Guidelines are issued regularly by governmental agencies, expert panels, medical specialty organizations, and other professional and scientific organizations. With the dual rise of evidence-based medicine and managed care, guidelines increasingly determine clinical practice. Because guidelines change as new research reshapes recommendations, and because guidelines sometimes express different positions on the same topic, clinicians need help in selecting the most appropriate screening, preventive, or treatment measure for a given situation. This book meets that need.
