Questions for the Panelists
-
What do you believe are the biggest challenges clinical practice guidelines developers/users face today? For example:
-
What do you do when the scientific evidence is absent or poor?
-
How do you reconcile disagreements in evidence interpretation among guidelines?
-
How do guidelines accommodate subgroups (e.g., older populations or persons with multimorbidities) whose treatment outcomes may differ from the average patient?
-
Are there other challenges you believe are important?
-
-
What topics and/or processes do you think the committee should consider in deriving quality standards for clinical practice guidelines? For example:
-
What should the composition of CPG development panels, in particular the balance of methodologists, topical experts, and consumers, look like?
-
What methods might be developed for determining which recommendations among those in a guideline should be applied to quality measures or electronic medical record decision prompts?
-
Is there an available assessment tool that adequately rates both the level of the scientific evidence and strength of clinical recommendations that should be used as standard practice in guideline development?
-
What administrative (e.g., accreditation) or legal approaches might improve the quality of clinical practice guidelines?
-
What explicit approaches might harmonize guideline developers and increase guidelines convergence?
-
What types of strategies might promote greater use of guidelines?
-
Are there other characteristics of guideline standards you think are important for the committee to consider?
