Abstract
Purpose of review: Guidelines provide recommendations for clinicians based on the best available evidence and informed by clinical expertise. These recommendations often fail to be utilized by clinicians hindering the translation of evidence into practice. The purpose of this review is to describe novel ways in which implementation science has been used to improve translation of guidelines into clinical practice in the field of lipidology.
Recent findings: We searched PubMed for articles related to guideline implementation in lipidology published in 2021 and 2022. Identified articles were categorized into three domains: first, poor uptake of guideline recommendations in practice; second, implementation science as a solution to improve care; and third, examples of how implementation science can be incorporated into guidelines.
Summary: The field of lipidology has identified that many guideline recommendations fail to be translated into practice and has started to utilize methods from implementation science to assess ways to shrink this gap. Future work should focus on deploying tools from implementation science to address current gaps in guideline development. Such as, developing a systematic approach to restructure guideline recommendations so they are implementable in practice and aid in clinicians' ability to easily translate them into practice.
期刊介绍:
With its easy-to-digest reviews on important advances in world literature, Current Opinion in Lipidology offers expert evaluation on a wide range of topics from six key disciplines including nutrition and metabolism, genetics and molecular biology, and hyperlipidaemia and cardiovascular disease. Published bimonthly, each issue covers in detail the most pertinent advances in these fields from the previous year. This is supplemented by a section of Bimonthly Updates, which deliver an insight into new developments at the cutting edge of the disciplines covered in the journal.
