Quick Reference Guide

A 10-page abridged summary of the full CPGs containing information thought to be most relevant to providers, accessed as a PDF.

Interactive Tools/Clinical Decision Support Tools

Interactive tools, in which user data input generates different outputs, in line with the recommendations of the CPG text. For example, the “Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose” (SMBG) tool asks for input from the user on the type of diabetes a patient has, their A1C, and their current treatments. The output is a recommendation for the frequency of SMBG monitoring.

Tools that do not involve active user input. Contains focused information from the full CPGs, formatted for single purpose use (e.g. Appendix PDF, 1 to 2-page PDF tools, slide decks, patient handouts).
