Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are an incredible resource for clinicians of all experience levels—synthesizing all the research on a topic and packaging it into bite-sized recommendations and flow charts. But how often are clinicians adhering to these guidelines?

In today’s episode, Dr Maggie Horn (Duke University) walks us through her research team’s work to assess if, how, and when clinicians follow CPG recommendations. The team worked with clinicians in their hospital system to embed templates in the EMR, and used self-report strategies to answer these questions, specifically for the neck pain CPG.

Dr Horn reviews the neck pain CPG, how the research team evaluated adherence, and what the findings mean for CPGs and clinicians.
