The physician and author John Ayrton Paris (1785-1856), several of whose other medical and popular works have been reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection, and his co-author J. S. M. Fonblanque (1787-1865) published this three-volume work in 1823. It remained almost the only work on the topic of medical jurisprudence for many years. The authors define the term as 'a science by which medicine, and its collateral branches, are made subservient to the construction, elucidation, and administration of the laws; and to the preservation of public health'. Volume 1 considers the context: the professional colleges and their powers and privileges, and historical cases involving a medical practitioner. It also deals with areas of the law where medical evidence may be needed: matrimonial and childbirth issues; insanity; public nuisance (e.g. pollution); and the adulteration of food. The volume ends with the first part of a consideration of unnatural death.

This issue of the Healthcare Report focuses on the importance of medical guidelines in healthcare. Guidelines provide the treating person with diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations. They are developed according to systematic and evidence-based criteria and aim to improve the quality of care for patients. As patient guidelines, they influence the health literacy of the population. Their implementation in everyday care is challenging. The expert contributions in the care report deal extensively with the practice of guidelines. They describe methods and procedures for the creation of trustworthy guidelines and their evaluation. They report on the results of empirical studies on the implementation of guideline recommendations in real care and present practice-oriented care structures and concrete contract models to promote the use of guidelines. The "Data and Analysis" part reports on the frequency of illnesses and treatments in Germany based on AOK billing data and takes a look at the effects of the pandemic. Further data on treatment frequencies for more than 1,500 diseases are available at www.mwv-open.de.
