Does Attribution Theory Explain Physicians' Nonacceptance of Clinical Practice Guidelines?

Abstract: Clinical practice guidelines can potentially lead to reductions in healthcare costs and improved patient outcomes if adopted by physicians into their clinical practice. This research study provides data that gives healthcare administrators a basic understanding of how physicians perceive clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) and gives practical suggestions to obtain physician adherence to CPGs.

“…2 Several studies evaluating physicians attitudes toward practice recommendations indicate that up to two-thirds of clinicians are unaware of practice guidelines, perceive adopting the practice guidelines as a challenge to autonomy, have diminished confidence in the professional organization, are confused regarding the guidelines, and in some instances have a greater concern with the adverse outcomes associated with not prescribing an antimicrobial more than with the risk of downstream complications of inappropriate prescribing. [65][66][67][68][69][70] Some investigators have suggested a multifaceted approach coupled with appropriate process outcome measures to address the issue of translational barriers to the acceptance of the IDSA ASB recommendations. The foundation of this multifaceted approach is the support by administrators and medical staff leadership.…”

“…Contrary to solo practitioners they are more concerned over a possible loss of their autonomy (Borkowski and Allen, 2003) and, thus, they tend to show resistance to the adoption of new services/products within their working practice (Harrison et al, 2002). Self-employed physicians on the other hand have been found to be heavy users of e-technology; more specifically, the adoption rate decreases as the size of the practice increases (Boehm, 2005).…”
