Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines

Reduce medical errors, improve patient safety and promote accountability

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) help to inform shared decision-making by providers and patients in diagnosis, treatment and other care management based on the best available evidence. Once implemented, CPGs can help reduce medical errors, improve patient safety and promote accountability for following best practices and standards of care.

The Lewin Group leverages an interdisciplinary team of clinicians, epidemiologists and health services researchers who use their expertise in systematic reviews, evidence-based medicine and meeting facilitation to support groups of clinical experts from government organizations develop CPGs.
