A database was constructed that facilitated the development of multiple interfaces for varying professionals. Content management is streamlined from a centralized location, also ensuring consistency of guidelines between medical practitioners and case managers and claims adjustors. DISCUSSION (CONCLUSION): This study demonstrates that delivery of treatment guideline recommendations in a decision support system is an effective dissemination strategy that can be tailored to the needs of users not necessarily trained in the interpretation and use of medical evidence. Combining this with an interface for physicians provides a mechanism that can improve the alignment between physician clinical decision-making and that of insurance professionals. TARGET AUDIENCE(S): 1. Guideline developer 2. Guideline implementer 3. Developer of guideline-based products 4. Health care policy analyst/policy-maker 5. Health insurance payers and purchasers
