Project Scope
|
An ad hoc committee will conduct a study to recommend methodologic standards for systematic reviews of clinical effectiveness research on health and health care. The standards should ensure that that the reviews are objective, transparent, scientifically valid, and require a common language for characterizing the strength of the evidence. Decision makers should be able to rely on systematic reviews of clinical effectiveness to know what is known and not known and to describe the extent to which the evidence is applicable to clinical practice and particular patients. In this context, the committee will
(1) Assess whether, if widely adopted, any existing set of standards would assure that systematic reviews of clinical effectiveness research are objective, transparent, and scientifically valid.
(2) Recommend a set of standards for developing and reporting systematic reviews of clinical effectiveness research.
The project is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
The approximate start date for the project was July 13, 2009.
A report will be issued at the end of the project in approximately 21 months.
Note: Please see the companion study on “Standards for Developing Trustworthy Clinical Practice Guidelines” that is also posted in the Current Projects System.
Note (10-15-2009): There has been a change in committee membership with the appointment of Mohit Bhandari
