Leitlinienorientierung deutscher Haus�rzte bei der Diagnostik und Therapie der arteriellen Hypertonie und des Diabetes mellitus

Abstract

The study shows a considerable degree of dissatisfaction with the quality of their work among primary care physicians. Guideline-oriented doctors however reveal more frequently formally adequate management characteristics. This encouraging aspect suggests the need of more successful implementation of medical guidelines in order to achieve improved evidence-based medicine and better patient-oriented health care.
