Project Scope
|
An ad hoc committee will conduct a study to recommend standards for developing clinical practice guidelines and recommendations. The standards should ensure that clinical practice guidelines are unbiased, scientifically valid, and trustworthy and also incorporate separate grading systems for characterizing quality of available evidence and strength of clinical recommendations. In this context, the committee should:
(1) Assess whether, if widely adopted, any existing set of standards would assure the development of unbiased, scientifically valid, and trustworthy clinical practice guidelines.
(2) Endorse an existing set of standards for developing clinical practice guidelines. If the committee judges current standards to be inadequate, it will develop a new set of standards.
(3) Determine best practices for promoting voluntary adoption of the standards.
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 Systematic Reviews of Clinical Effectiveness Research” that is also posted in the Current Projects System.
