Practice Guidelines

MSHN supports and requires the use of nationally accepted and mutually agreed upon clinical practice guidelines including evidence-based practices (EBPs) to ensure the use of research-validated methods for the best possible outcomes for service recipients as well as best value in the purchase of services and supports. Practice guidelines include clinical standards, evidence-based practices, practice-based evidence, best practices, and promising practices that are relevant to the individuals served.

The following practice guidelines have been developed and agreed upon for regional use in collaboration with the appropriate MSHN regional Councils and Committees.
