Efectos jurídicos de la inobservancia de las guías de práctica clínica en Colombia

Resumen

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Clinical Practice Guidelines and their effects in the field of Medical Responsibility in Colombia. For this, a methodology of documentary type was used, with a qualitative approach and jurisprudential analysis. The main results were that there are gaps in the regulations when creating a link between the mandatory and the free appreciation of the doctor with the patient, as well as the fact that the use of the guidelines is a matter that has a decisive influence in medical practice. The work has value insofar as it warns the obligation of the doctor in the implementation of a Clinical Practice Guide, as well as recognizing that there is no excuse for the doctor to stop applying with the patient a Guide that generates benefits for both, both for the doctor as for the patient, since the Guide serves as an instrument and tool of help in medical procedures.
