Use of evidence-based practice management guidelines in trauma care
Abstract:
A PMG is a tool developed by a consensus process, with the input of all trauma care practitioners who are involved in the care of a patient with a specific clinical issue. The group that develops the PMG uses current, evidence-based data, carefully introduces and monitors the PMG in the clinical setting, and evaluates the success of the PMG in accomplishing the goals identified at the beginning of the process. The ultimate goal of a PMG is to eliminate unnecessary practice variations, with the end point of achieving quality care. Participating in the development of a guideline with a review of the literature serves as an excellent educational process for all practitioners.
