Guideline (medical)

A guideline is like a set of instructions or rules for doctors and other medical professionals to follow when they take care of patients. Just like how you might follow a set of rules when playing a game with your friends, doctors follow guidelines to make sure they're doing things the right way when taking care of patients. These guidelines are made by groups of experts who study and research different medical conditions or treatments to figure out what is the best way to care for patients. By following these guidelines, doctors can help ensure that all patients receive the same high-quality care, no matter where they live or who their doctor is.
