ABSTRACT
Generation, local tailoring, implementation and evaluation of clinical guidelines is an integral part of quality management. Clinical guidelines are intimately related to the independency of physicians' decisions. By this the physicians should be responsible for guideline development and guarantee the use of adequate methods of total quality management and outcome assessment. Formal consensus finding and transparency of evidence are necessary to guarantee the use of guidelines. Clinical algorithms are highly formalized and they are well suited for generation and analysis by the software ALGO. Determination of complexity and comparison of the clinical contents of algorithms is done by the scores CASA (Clinical Algorithm Structural Analysis) and CAPA (Clinical Algorithm Patient Abstraction). In a study of 22 clinical departments on treatment management concepts in sepsis following anastomotic insufFiciency in colorectal carcinoma a considerable heterogeneity was shown using this program.
