Clinical practice guidelines: a qualitative study of their implementation in the Chilean health system

Translated English title: Clinical practice guidelines: a qualitative study of their implementation in the Chilean health system<br />Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are a set of recommendations based on a systematic review of the evidence and on a risk-benefit evaluation of the different alternatives, aimed at optimizing healthcare provided to patients. This study aims to characterize the implementation process, barriers, and facilitators of evidence-based recommendations in the context of developing clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) generated by the Ministry of Health of Chile, in order to make proposals to optimize the process. After characterizing the implementation process, barriers, and facilitators, a plan to implement recommendations was developed in order to orient and monitor the process. Including key informants inside and outside of the Ministry of Health in the review process would facilitate the implementation of strategies and the introduction of improvements to the CPG development process. Studies of this kind should be conducted with physicians and patients in order to complement the collected information.
