Clinical practice guidelines represent the best current thinking on the management of acute and chronic medical conditions. Unfortunately, the implementation of such guidelines in clinical practice has been difficult and problematic. Electronic medical records represent an opportunity to implement guidelines. We have designed a system for incorporating guidelines for the management of glaucoma into an ophthalmology EMR.
