Overview of the Clinical Practice Guidelines

Toward Optimized Practice (TOP)'s clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are systematically developed publications and tools that are based on evidence derived from journal articles and scientific publications. They are intended to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate healthcare for specific clinical circumstances. The CPGs and tools are reviewed and validated regularly to ensure clinical accuracy, and are to be used as an adjunct to sound clinical decision making.
