The major purpose of the CPG Committee of the CSN is to develop CPGs or Clinical Practice Recommendations for CSN members. The overriding goal is to improve the delivery of health care to kidney disease patients in Canada.
Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) are systematically developed statements to assist practitioners and patients reach appropriate health care decisions. Their purpose is "to make explicit recommendations with a definite intent to influence what clinicians do." If developed properly, CPG assimilate and translate the abundance of evidence published on a daily basis into practice guidelines or recommendations. In doing so, CPGs aim to reduce the use of unnecessary or harmful interventions, and facilitate the treatment of patients to achieve maximum benefit and minimum risk at an acceptable cost. CPGs are not meant to replace sound medical decision making which takes into account critical elements relevant to patient care including patient preferences and clinician experience.
