Overview
Discussion - AARC Clinical Practice Guidelines and Your Local Context
In this discussion, we will explore the AARC clinical practice guidelines and compare them to your existing practices or protocols in your local context. The AARC took steps to strengthen these guidelines by identifying what is evidence-based, what is an expert panel, and what are expired guidelines to improve our confidence in the recommendation. This helps our professional guidelines align more closely with recommendations from other sources (i.e., American College of Chest Physicians, JAMA). Compare and contrast one AARC Clinical Practice Guideline with a policy or practice in your local context with the intent to improve, align, or clarify differences that appear. If you can apply this discussion to your PPoP study, it would contribute well to your final disease management presentation.
