What are Guideline Summaries? Decision Aids?

Guidelines summaries are easy-to-use interactive summaries of clinical practice recommendations. They are derived from the highest level of scientific research sources and assist in the diagnosis and treatment of medical disorders.

Decision Aids are tools for shared decision making and patient education that are evidence-based and easy to use at the bedside. MDCalc is working with some of the top shared decision making (SDM) academic experts to develop these tools to help assist physicians to have conversations with patients and families.
