Statement Of IntentThe framework is constructed from global evidence of best practice. As with allguidance it aims to support decision making, recognising that all patients areunique and have their own needs. The Task Force endeavours to provide accurateand up-to-date information. The frameworks provide support for decision makingand as such are not mandatory. They should not be construed as within any legalframework, rather as guidance for professional practice. Standards of care forindividual patients are determined on the basis of all the facts and circumstancesinvolved in a particular case. They are subject to change as scientific knowledgeand technology advances and patterns of care evolve. Management of diseasesmust be made by the appropriate primary care practitioners responsible forclinical decisions regarding a particular treatment procedure or care plan. Theresponsible primary care practitioners should only arrive at a particular treatmentprocedure or care plan following discussion with the patient on the diagnostic andtreatment choices available.HK Reference Framework for Hypertension Care for Adults in Primary Care Settingsv
