ICSI Health Care Guidelines for Patients & Families are the same clinical guidelines developed for health care providers, supplemented by definitions and descriptions of medical terms that are often unfamiliar to people who are not health care professionals. They are intended to provide patients and their families with an evidence-based resource that is useful when discussing their care with a physician or other health care provider.
ICSI's Mission: The mission of our collaboration is to champion the cause of health care quality and to accelerate improvement in the value of the health care we deliver to the populations we serve. The information provided on the ICSI web site is designed to support, not replace, the relationship that exists between a patient/site visitor and his/her physician.
