Clinical Practice Guidelines, Dissemination, Evidence, Guideline, MethodologyAbstract
This article has the aim of informing the reader about methodology and production of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) and the instruments in order to be able to approach the whole process, from the production to the publication and distribution, but also to updated CPG. The importance of the issue is given by: 1) the need to avoid the CPG duplication, which is the reason of waste of resources and that raises confusion among users; 2) the need to ensure the independence of the experts involved and without conflict of interests; 3) the use of methodologies that respect the best quality standards; 4) the inhomogeneity of healthcare processes in the Italian territory and practices not based on scientific evidences; 5) the consultation and the commentary of stakeholders on the recommendations produced.
