Clinical practice guidelines are an increasingly common element of clinical care throughout the world. Such guidelines have the potential to improve the care received by patients by promoting interventions of proven benefit and discouraging ineffective interventions. However, the development and introduction of guidelines are not themselves without costs. in some circumstances, the costs of development and introduction are likely to outweigh their potential benefits. In other circumstances, it may be more efficient to adopt less costly but less effective dissemination and implementation strategies. Local healthcare organisations have relatively few resources for clinical effectiveness activities and policy-makers need to consider how best to use these to maximise benefits
