The Health Policy and Clinical Effectiveness Department at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is dedicated to sharing its expertise and knowledge.
The pediatric evidence-based care guidelines and Best Evidence Statements (BESt) developed at Cincinnati Children's are developed by experts, patients and families to help pediatricians provide the best possible care to patients. Our evidence-based care guidelines and BESt's are based on the best available evidence and expert opinion.
The scope of a BESt is smaller than a Clinical Practice Guideline. A BESt contains clinical recommendation(s) based on best evidence on a limited topic or single clinical question. The BESt depends more on synthesized evidence, such as published guidelines and other systematic reviews when available, than on primary research.
