Clinical Practice Guidelines Now Available

The 2010-11 Clinical Practice Guideline Summary is now available online and replaces the previous version. The new summary includes a listing of all AmeriHealth-adopted Clinical Practice Guidelines, which are considered the accepted minimum standard of care in the medical profession. Adherence to these guidelines may lead to improved patient outcomes. Individual clinical decisions should be tailored to specific patient medical and psychosocial needs. As national guideline recommendations evolve, please update your practice accordingly. The summary includes the reference for each condition and links directly to the guideline.

We update the guidelines annually based on changes made to nationally recognized sources. Changes are reviewed by internal and external consultants, as appropriate, as well as by the AmeriHealth quality committee, comprised of network physicians.

For more information on the 2010-11 Clinical Practice Guideline Summary, please refer to the December edition of Partners in Health Update^SM.
