We hosted Dr. Brad Spellberg, CMO of LA General Medical Center, on February 9th. Following his amazing Grand Rounds on Shorter is Better for Antibiotics, Brad and I led a session about the pitfalls of guideline-based medicine.
In Part 1, I set the stage on why guidelines are not synonymous with evidence-based medicine because, (1) they don’t guide, and (2) the evidence supporting many recommendations is often poor.
In Part 2, Brad picks up the thread about the need for humility of uncertainty and proposes WikiGuidelines as a way forward.
