Resumen Ejecutivo: Currently in Colombia, a lot of resources are being invested in the development
of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPG) in priority conditions. In the last 5 years, over 30
guidelines have been developed, and for this year, the ministry of health has awarded some
academic groups to develop a new set of CPG. The basis for the development of guidelines during
the past years has been the national Methodological Guideline of the Minister of Health (MGG) .
There is a need for a more powerful evaluation to identify gaps in the guideline development process
in Colombia with the aim of design and promote actions for improvement and to obtain reliable and
high quality products consistent with the goal proposed by the National government with this initiative.
