A Manual for Assessing Health Practices and Designing Practice Policies: The Explicit Approach

By David M. Eddy

This pioneering manual provides a scientifically based method for assessing health practices and establishing practice guidelines. It helps physicians deal with one of the more difficult aspects of medical practice - determining what to do at a particular clinical moment, and how to do it. It reviews how to collect, interpret, and combine evidence; compare the benefits of procedures with the harms; use subjective and objective methods to compare health outcomes with costs; and compile the information to implement a policy.
