Abstract
SUCCESSFUL implementation of clinical practice guidelines should improve quality of care by decreasing inappropriate variation.1,2 However, several studies have suggested that guidelines have limited impact on clinical practice. These studies have examined neither prospectively the continuum of guideline adoption from dissemination, to awareness, to agreement, and finally to adherence nor the specific barriers along the way.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
