Clinical Practice Guidelines Could be More Primary Care-friendly, says Nisa Maruthur, MD, MHS

It's understandable that clinical guidelines can't always be translated to the frontline immediately, said Nisa Maruthur, MD, MHS, in a conversation with Patient Care® about the new American Diabetes Association/European Association for the Study of Diabetes (ADA/EASD) consensus report on management of type 2 diabetes.

Maruthur, a primary care physican who focuses on T2D clinical care and research, understands the challenges of both time and resources frontline clinicians face daily. In the video below she emphasizes that it is incumbent on clinical guideline developers to include direction in new recommendations on how to implement evidence-based interventions. She is a member of the ADA/EASD consensus report writing committee and explains that is exactly what she and her coauthors did.
