Children’s Minnesota has created a number of clinical practice guidelines for health professionals that highlight an evidence-based approach to the management of certain conditions in order to reduce unwarranted variation in care.
Guidelines are designed to apply to the bulk of patients with a given condition and should be adapted to individual patients based upon clinical judgment and individual situations. To assist providers with real-time decision making, most of the clinical guidelines at Children’s Minnesota consist of visual treatment algorithms/pathways, evidence-based ordersets, bibliographies and any applicable rules/alerts embedded within the electronic health record. In addition to clinical guidelines in pdf format listed below, more than 25 of the Children’s Minnesota clinical guidelines are available in interactive digital format through an avoMD guidelines application, which is accessible for providers on internal platforms and mobile devices.
