title: Does attribution theory explain physicians' nonacceptance of clinical practice guidelines?
abstract: Clinical practice guidelines can potentially lead to reductions in healthcare costs and improved patient outcomes if adopted by physicians into their clinical practice. This research study provides data that gives healthcare administrators a basic understanding of how physicians perceive clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and gives practical suggestions to obtain physician adherence to CPGs.
