GUIDELINE

A set of statements, directions, or principles presenting current or future rules or policy. Guidelines may be developed by government agencies at any level, institutions, organizations such as professional societies or governing boards, or by the convening of expert panels. The text may be cursive or in outline form, but it is usually a comprehensive manual to problems and approaches in any discipline or activity. This concept relates to the common conduct and administration of health care activities rather than to specific decisions for a special clinical condition. For that aspect, practice guideline is accessible.
