Guidelines or mindlines? – implementing a new CKD guideline in German primary care
The most significant barrier to use was that guidelines were not used as step-by-step decision aide in consultations with patients. Our analysis suggests that informal contact between primary and secondary care is significant conduit for evidence-based information on CKD in German primary care. Implementation projects should support the development of these relationships.
