We participated in a Multi center open label study to compare the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine (Dex) to propofol (Prop) based standard of care for ICU sedation following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
An example of how a government incentive program might improve evidence-based standards of care in diabetes can be found in the United Kingdom where, in 2004, the National Health Service introduced a pay-for-performance scheme to reward primary-care practices that achieve clinical targets for a number of chronic conditions.
We need to promote evidenced-based standards of care and to maintain pharmacovigilance and surveillance on our marketed products.

Deviations from best practices in BC management are not limited to complex cases or difficult treatment schemas; they most often concern basic, well-established evidence-based standards of care [ 38].
Evidence-based standards of care recommend an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) as the optimal access due to its longevity and lower complication rates compared to central venous catheters (CVC)[ 7].
A third stream of activities, closely associated with the quality assurance movement, is primarily concerned with developing evidence-based standards of care and measuring resources, processes and interventions that must be in place to optimize care quality and outcomes [ 31].
(Brown, 2009, p. 1) a client-centered, assessment-based interdisciplinary approach to integrating health care and social support services in which an individual's needs and preferences are assessed, a comprehensive care plan is developed, and services are managed and monitored by a care coordinator following evidence-based standards of care.
GWTG-Stroke is an ongoing, voluntary, registry and performance improvement initiative for acute hospitals that collect patient level data on characteristics, diagnostic testing, treatments, adherence to evidence-based standards of care, and in-hospital outcomes in patients hospitalized with stroke [ 5].
Care coordination is a client-centered, assessment-based interdisciplinary approach to integrating health care and social support services in which an individual's needs and preferences are assessed, a comprehensive care plan is developed, and services are managed and monitored by a care coordinator following evidence-based standards of care.
