Guidelines can in no way encompass every diagnosis or treatment of all disease states, nor can they include the variations that occur in the complexity of the human response to disease processes, which includes co-morbid conditions. Where clear discrepancies of opinion exist, the licensed physician as the caretaker of the patient must be responsible for guiding the individual patient's course leading to diagnosis and treatment.

Statement on the use of proprietary guidelines by managed care organizations.
