Abstract (English):	There is an increasing demand to ensure quality in the providing and receiving health care. Health care services face different challenges, such as: a growing aging population, increasing care costs, variations in clinical practice, and a fasting increase in the generation of information on diagnostic methods and therapies. In this context, a wave of development and use of clinical guidelines (CGL) based on scientific evidence has emerged worldwide, with the aim to creating tools to promote clinical excellence practice. Our country and the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS), with its experience in developing CGL has joined this trend as a main project. It is beneficial for IMSS Health professionals and their patients. The aim of this paper is to present general information on definitions, structure, quality standards, development proceedings, updating, and potential advantages and disadvantages by using CGL. To achieve the expectations of a positive impact on quality and the health care budget distribution, health care personnel must be open to and receptive to the CGL recommendations and be flexible in changing their clinical practice.

Abstract (Spanish):	En la actualidad existe una creciente demanda para asegurar mayor calidad al otorgar y recibir atención médica. Los servicios de salud enfrentan diferentes retos, como envejecimiento de la población, elevación de costos en la atención, variaciones frecuentes en la práctica y aumento rápido en la generación de información de métodos diagnósticos y terapéuticos. En este contexto, en el mundo surge una corriente de elaboración y uso de guías de práctica clínica (GPC) basadas en evidencia científica, con el objetivo de promover la excelencia clínica. Nuestro país se ha sumado a esta tendencia, y el IMSS ha adoptado como proyecto prioritario la elaboración y adaptación de GPC. Es conveniente que el personal del IMSS se involucre en este proyecto, por lo que la finalidad de este artículo es presentar información general sobre definiciones, componentes, calidad, desarrollo, actualización, ventajas y desventajas potenciales del uso de GPC. Para alcanzar las expectativas de un impacto positivo en la calidad y asignación del gasto de atención, se requiere del personal de salud una actitud receptiva a las recomendaciones de las GPC y la flexibilidad para realizar un cambio en su práctica.
