Clinical Pathways are a consolidated library of clinical guidelines and care algorithms developed for use by clinicians at Boston Children’s Hospital. The clinical pathways are based on best available evidence as interpreted and agreed upon by a multidisciplinary group of clinicians. The guidelines have been developed for educational purposes only and for reference by Boston Children’s Hospital providers. Decisions about evaluation and treatment are the responsibility of the treating clinician and should always be tailored to individual clinical circumstances.
