Clinical Practice Guidelines are based on established evidence-based standards of care from specialty societies and national clinical organizations. The guidelines inform our quality and health management programs and support decision-making in patient care.
Our Clinical Quality Committee reviews and updates the guidelines at least every two years and when new significant findings or major advancements in evidence-based practices and standards of care are established.
The guidelines aren’t intended to substitute for clinical judgment in individual cases. Providers are encouraged to make decisions based on their own judgment and the most current evidence-based information available.
Recommendations from national entities may vary. At this time, we endorse the American Academy of Family Physicians and American College of Physicians criteria for defining high blood pressure.
