Our Best Practice Guidelines have been developed by experts to assist providers, interdisciplinary care teams and members in making care decisions. These guidelines should be applied collaboratively and are not meant to replace judgment calls by our providers and Community Care care teams.

For a full description of “Goals of Care” and its application to guidelines, see Community Care Goals of Care

Community Care promotes the application of best practice standards of care by directing care providers to resources containing evidence-based clinical and long-term care practice guidelines developed by experts and professional organizations. While every effort is made to assure the reliability of resources, Community Care does not take responsibility or attest to the accuracy of all external website content.
