Integrating the principles of evidence-based practice: testing and diagnosis.
The intention of the clinical practice guideline (CPG) column has included increasing readers' familiarity with the range of available evidence-based recommendations, while stimulating dialogue regarding application of those recommendations in practice. This column introduces the first article in a series of three written to describe a framework in which the principles of evidence-based practice can be applied. This article uses a clinical scenario to illustrate considerations relevant to the selection and application of a CPG in practice.
