Why is it important?

A comprehensive methodology to assist pharmacists interested in the appraisal, development, updating, ​and implementation of clinical practice guidelines and a useful catalog, with web links, of English-language guidelines that have merit as freestanding publications and permit international comparison with readers’ own national guidelines.

Perspectives

The products and services developed in the HealthGuide can be a good way to acquire, improve and transfer the methodological knowledge issues of the EBM. Hospital Pharmacists should participate in the Evidence-Based Pharmacy Clinical Guidelines. The HealthGuide should also take into account the Hospital Pharmacy knowledge.
