In ODG by MCG's latest white paper, this. Allison MacLennan, MD, Physician Editor at MCG Health, and Troy J. Prevot, MBA, PA-C, Associate Vice President of Strategic Solutions and Regulatory Affairs at ODG, explore how clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) provide a structured foundation for care while still requiring thoughtful interpretation to address each injured worker’s unique needs. From initial diagnosis through planning, the paper outlines how aligning guideline recommendations with real-world clinical judgment improves decision-making, supports defensible care, and enhances collaboration between providers and professionals.
