Compendium of DOH- Approved Clinical Practice Guidelines

Dissemination of DOH-approved Clinical Practice Guidelines

Section 27.7 of the UHC Act and its Implementing Rules and Regulations mandates the DOH to set standards of clinical care, through the development, appraisal, and use of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) based on best evidence, in collaboration with professional societies and the academe.

As of January 2024, fifty-six (56) locally-developed CPGs have met the minimum requirements using an internationally accepted appraisal process with the AGREE II tool, ensuring that they underwent rigorous scientific development with appropriate management of conflicts of interest. These CPGs play a vital role in guiding health service delivery, policy-making, and health education.

We invite healthcare professionals to access the Compendium of DOH-approved Clinical Practice Guidelines at www.doh.gov.ph/dpcb/doh-approved-cpg/ or https://bit.ly/CompendiumDOH-ApprovedCPGs.

Disclaimer: It is important to note that CPGs are based on the best available evidence on interventions for different health conditions. However, these guidelines should be interpreted based on the patient’s individual circumstances and applied with sound clinical judgment.

Guidelines should not be interpreted as strict rules on which legal action may be based, nor should they be the sole basis for evaluating insurance claims. Clinicians are expected to maintain discretion and exercise due diligence while upholding the patient’s best interests in the utilization of CPGs.
