In support of World Health Day 2019, Wolters Kluwer, Health is raising awareness of the global challenge of care variation in clinical practice. In fact, most countries have anywhere from a two-to-twenty-fold variation in quality of care for the same condition. We believe that every patient deserves to benefit from the very best knowledge and evidence. As we focus today on WHO's mission to pursue universal healthcare, we're challenging healthcare practitioners to assess their approach to evidence-based practice and patient-centered care in their practice.
