Accessing resources to support guideline implementation
Up to Board open to the public
One of the opportunities we have through this community is to explore the formats of guidelines, the types of recommendations that are most useful. I thought we could that discussion to find what works for the emergency sector. Links to examples or electronic copies to share would be a great start.
Are there particular resources you are keen to sources?
Cheers

Re: Accessing resources to support guideline implementation
Dear all
One website that is worth visiting is that of the college of the emergency medicine,UK. It provides a number of local and external guidelines for numerous emergency conditions. This is a really good opportunity to compare different formating used by different organisations from different countries for presenting emergency guidelines. Still, for me, I find most of the formats quite hard to apply in the busy emergency environment specially for junior doctors.

Click on the icon " clinical effectiveness committee" to the left of the page,then click on the subicon "guidelines".
Hope this would be helpful

Hi Samar,
Thank you for the link, have you come across any formats that are better than others and why. I think this might be a way of teasing out what features of the formats are regarded as more favourable.
Best Bets have what they call an accumulator - the example is a bit complex but basically a flow chart that has links to evidence at point in the care process http://www.bestbets.org/accumulators/accumulator01.htm - Food for thought.
