Clinical Practice Guidelines as Instruments for Sound Health Care Priority Setting

The American Journal of Cardiology
Patrick R Lawler, Ole F Norheim

Abstract

This editorial discusses the potential role that physician-authored clinical practice guidelines could play in health care priority setting decisions in the United States. We briefly review the challenges associated with increasingly obligate health care priority setting in the United States and discuss accountability for these decisions. We then propose a potential role for clinical practice guidelines in addressing these challenges, while considering the ethical foundations of such a proposal.
