Summary of March EC Community teleconference
Topic: Formats of guidelines or guideline implementation resources specific for Emergency Care?
The purpose of the teleconference was to discuss key elements of guidelines that would increase their uptake in the emergency care sector.
The points raised included:
- Integrating guideline recommendations into work processes eg operationalise recommendations into medical order sets, or in situations where electronic medical records are in place electronic decision support systems
- Prioritising guideline recommendations - not to many to make implementation unmanageable
- The guideline recommendations should include measurable elements
- Requesting guideline developers to consider recommendations for different contexts given the broad practice settings for emergency care including pre hospital
- The possibility of applying an AGREE like process to guidelines recommendations
The participants suggested the following activities initially:
- The development of principles that could be used to inform developers on the formats of guidelines for Emergency Care eg incorporating guideline recommendations into work flow processes and encourage grading of recommendations
- Undertaking a survey of the clinical community to identify and prioritise the features of guidelines that they consider support the uptake of evidence
This could build on information from the workshop in Singapore, please let me know if you are interested in helping plan this activity (the who, what, where and when) - possibly using survey monkey as 'the how'.
