Practice standards
are intended to be used under all circumstances and define correct overall practice. They are generally considered to be inflexible and should not be interpreted as adaptable to fit different contexts.
Practice guidelines
are not cookbooks that take the decision making away from providers; instead, they allow for flexibility when making individual patient-care decisions. Guidelines are intended to provide a reference point and general direction for decision making and are not meant to be interpreted as rigid criteria that must be followed regardless of the context in which they are being used
