| Lately, the CAHTA has been working in the development and implementation of different clinical practice guidelines. In this category of product, we want to emphasize the Clinical practice guidelines program on Cancer in Catalonia - OncoGuidelines, conducted in collaboration with the Steering Plan on Oncology.
The following are some of the latest guidelines published by the CAHTA:
The CAHTA is also conducting the methodological review of guidelines produced by other institutions. In this group, the CAHTA has worked together with the Andorran Physicians Association (Guidelines for good practice in depression primary care; Guidelines on laboratory tests in the diagnosis of acute backache; Guidelines on the management of diabetic patients in primary care). These guidelines can be consulted on-line in the Andorran College of Physicians web site.
Professionals from the Catalan Health Institute were also given advice in the production of guidelines. The topics covered were: hypercholesterolemia, the management of pressure ulcers, the use of diapers in urinary incontinence, capillary glycemia self-analysis in diabetes, high blood pressure and dyspepsia by H. pylori. These guidelines can be consulted in the Catalan Health Institute web site.
