PY - 2021 DA - 2021/02/24 TI - Bringing two worlds closer together: a critical analysis of an integrated approach to guideline development and quality assurance schemes JO - BMC Health Services Research SP - 172 VL - 21 IS - 1 AB - Although quality indicators are frequently derived from guidelines, there is a substantial gap in collaboration between the corresponding parties.
