The guidelines urge clinical reasoning, assessment and management of psychosocial factors and documentation including outcome measurement.
(CV = case vignette, CHF = chronic heart failure) When comparing the GPs' diagnostic reasoning with guidelines, we found that the clinical information in the case vignettes was not used to the extent recommended in the guidelines.
Some implications of our study are that 1) GPs should be taught how to use ECHO information better in their diagnostic reasoning, 2) guidelines ought to give more importance to information about other cardio-vascular diseases in the diagnostic reasoning, and 3) guidelines ought to treat the topic of diastolic heart failure in a clearer way.
The same reasoning for guideline consistency can be applied to RSV prophylaxis recommendations for preterm infants.
This approach reflects the long-known, but rarely utilized perspective that scientific reasoning can provide guidelines but not rigid criteria for causal inference [ 13, 14].
This study aims to evaluate the impact of a clinical education intervention designed to enhance the use of clinical practice guidelines and develop clinicians' clinical reasoning abilities.
