Authored by specialists at The Cleveland Clinic, each chapter is designed to incorporate national clinical practice guidelines in a fashion which is simple, straightforward, and of maximum clinical utility. If an author disagrees with these guidelines, it is clearly indicated, as is the reason. Thus, the reader has the best of both possible worlds: knowing what the guideline recommends, and also knowing how an expert interprets and updates these guidelines in the real world.

The Disease Management Project is offered free as a service of The Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Education.

First published online in 2002, the guide was updated recently with new information and new chapters and also was published as a printed book, 2009 Current Clinical Medicine by Elsevier.

Monthly newsletter, This Month For Physicians, and other physician-targeted articles and reports including Physicians and The Joint Commission: The Patient Safety Partnership, a downloadable presentation.
