Abstract

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) documents can be used by physicians and other clinical employees in clinical practice and education, by administrative authorities, by health policy makers or by patients. Information in these documents is also essential in the development of clinical information systems and decision support systems. Approximately 107 Czech expert medical societies (CEMS) publish about 731 CPGs on the Internet according to previous explorations of web sites of CEMS. The database of the Catalogue of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CCPG) takes a survey in the appearance of CPGs on free accessible web sites of expert societies or periodicals guaranteed by expert societies. The database stores bibliographical data, information about the recency and the quality of CPGs and information about the existence of web tools or formal models based on these CPGs. The database contains 562 records of CPGs published by CEMS. 212 records are accessible via the CCPG web interface.
