Can AI answer questions from clinical guidelines?

Yes — guidelines are Osler’s first-class source. Ask a clinical question and the answer cites the relevant society guideline with its year inline, so you can see exactly which document stands behind each recommendation.

Which guidelines does Osler cite?

Osler cites society guidelines — bodies such as ESC, AHA and NICE — always with the society and year attached to the citation, alongside its other source families like PubMed, Cochrane and ClinicalTrials.gov.

How do I know if a guideline answer is current?

Every guideline citation carries its year, so recency is explicit rather than assumed. New guideline versions flow through the same pipeline that powers the rest of Prognia’s guideline features.

What if ESC and AHA disagree on a recommendation?

Where societies differ, the positions surface as separate cited sources — each attributed to its own society and year — so the disagreement is visible instead of averaged away.

Can I read the full guideline text?

Yes. Cited answers are one click from the full text in the Prognia guideline library at prognia.nl/guidelines, and guideline deep-dive pages are also available in Ward.

Do my notes stay current when guidelines change?

That is Suture’s guideline propagation: the same pipeline that keeps Osler’s guideline sources moving also warns your Suture notes when they rely on guidance that has been superseded.

The problem

The Answer Exists. On Page 87.

Clinical guidelines hold the answers — spread over hundreds of pages, per society, per condition, per year.

Reading time nobody has

A single guideline can run past a hundred pages. The recommendation you actually need is three lines of it.

Societies disagree quietly

ESC and AHA can differ on the same question — but you only find out where if you read both, cover to cover.

Versions move underneath you

What you memorized was current when you learned it. Guidelines get revised; memory does not.

First-class source

Guidelines Lead the Evidence

Guidelines are Osler’s premier source type: answers cite the society and year inline — a gold-coded chip on the exact claim it supports, not a footnote at the end of the page.

Across societies

ESC Versus AHA, Side by Side

Ask a question where societies differ and the differences surface as separate cited sources — each with its own society and year — instead of being averaged into one blurry answer.

When a society publishes a new version, it enters the same guideline pipeline that powers Suture’s guideline propagation — the system that warns you when a note cites superseded guidance.
