Clinical Guidelines

Health Plan of Nevada (HPN) and Sierra Health and Life (SHL) uses evidence-based clinical guidelines from nationally recognized sources to guide quality and health management programs and for the clinician's use in managing common and important medical conditions.

The guidelines constitute a framework only. In all cases, the provider's clinical judgment can override the guideline if the provider feels that strict adherence is not in the patient's best interest. If the provider decides to deviate, the medical record should indicate the rationale for this variation.
