Video Summary

Atif Hussain and Emily Johnson co-chaired a symposium on clinical practice guidelines, emphasizing their creation, importance, and implementation, particularly in epilepsy care. The American Epilepsy Society has intensified efforts on developing these guidelines, often in collaboration with other neurological associations. The Guidelines and Assessment Committee, under new chair Emily Johnson and vice chair Dan Friedman, plays a crucial role in this process. They also evaluate and potentially endorse external guidelines. The presentation covered differences between U.S. and international guidelines, their economic implications, and strategies for integrating them into clinical practice. A panel discussion concluded the session.
