19. The potential organisational barriers in applying the recommendations should be discussed

Applying the guideline recommendations may require changes in the organisation of care within a service or a clinic – for example, the establishment of multidisciplinary stroke units, or shared care arrangements for management of patients with asthma or diabetes. These changes may be a barrier to using the recommendations in daily practice and should be discussed in the guideline.
