[The future of guidelines: an exploration based on the four perspectives of the PHSF-2014].

In the Dutch Public Health Status and Foresight report (PHSF), the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment explores the future of public health and health care in the Netherlands up to 2040. In the first article of a short series on the PHSF 2014, we briefly explained the study and four normative perspectives on public health. In the second article, we described the most important future trends up to 2030. In this, the final article on the PHSF 2014, we use the four normative perspectives as a foresight of future guidelines. We make some recommendations in which normative diversity is taken into account. Our ultimate goal is to see our results and analyses also being put to use in other strategic discussions and determinations.
