A guideline is a statement by which to determine a course of action. A guideline aims to streamline particular processes according to a set routine or sound practice.

Healthcare In Norway
In Norway, municipalities are in charge of providing basic healthcare. Since the money given to municipalities is not set aside for any particular purpose, each municipality is free to determine its own health budget. Municipalities coordinate primary healthcare services through agreements with independent physicians. In Norway, private healthcare providers are not compensated unless they have a contract with the public health service. All public hospitals in Norway are run by four Regional Health Authorities (RHA) overseen by the Ministry of Health and Care Services. In addition to these public hospitals, there are a small number of privately owned health clinics currently operating. Statistics With a population of 5 391 369 as of the first quarter of 2021, and a gross national income per capita of 70 800 (PPP, current international dollar) in 2019, Norway has a life expectancy at birth of 84 years for women and 81 years for men as of 2016.

Health Websites
Health information on the Internet refers to all health-related information communicated through or available on the Internet. Description The Internet is widely used by the general public as a tool for finding health information. In the late 1990s, researchers noted an increase in Internet users' access to health-related content despite the variation in the quality of information, level of accessibility, and overall health literacy. Access to health information does not guarantee understanding, as health literacy of individuals vary. It is believed patients who know their medical history may learn and interpret this information in a way that benefits them. This, however, is not always the case because online health information is not always peer reviewed. Physicians worry that patients who conduct Internet research on their medical history are at a risk of being misinformed. In 2013, the opinions about the relationship between health care providers and online health information w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Evidence-based Medicine
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is "the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients". The aim of EBM is to integrate the experience of the clinician, the values of the patient, and the best available scientific information to guide decision-making about clinical management. The term was originally used to describe an approach to teaching the practice of medicine and improving decisions by individual physicians about individual patients. Background, history and definition Medicine has a long history of scientific inquiry about the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human disease. The concept of a controlled clinical trial was first described in 1662 by Jan Baptist van Helmont in reference to the practice of bloodletting. Wrote Van Helmont: The first published report describing the conduct and results of a controlled clinical trial was by James Lind, a Scottish naval surgeon who conducted rese ...
