Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG)
Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are statements that include recommendations intended to optimize patient care that are informed by a systematic review of evidence and an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative care options.
The University of Kansas Health System's Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Program references six CPGs to guide the management of patients from arrival to the hospital with acute stroke symptoms to discharge and future recovery from their stroke:
