TL;DR
A national survey of a random sample of American College of Physicians (ACP) members to assess ACP members' familiarity with, confidence in, and attitudes about guidelines issued by ACP and other organizations and members' perceptions of the effect of ACp and other guidelines on their practices.
Abstract
Although most ACP members studied recognized the potential benefits of practice guidelines, many were concerned about possible effects on clinical autonomy, health care costs, and satisfaction with clinical practice.
