9th G-I-N conference overview
Activities and progresses of the Implementation Working Group
Following the meeting held in Lisbon, a small group met by teleconferences to discuss possible G-I-N initiatives and ways in which G-I-N might support members who wish to take an active role in furthering G-I-N’s work in this area.
Ideas discussed in detail are:
- inclusion of specific questions about guideline implementation in the annual member survey so that we identify groups and individuals with expertise in this area;
- development of a taxonomy of implementation methods based on the work of the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) Group; and
- ensuring that we create opportunities at future G-I-N meetings for workshops and training in implementation.
A second G-I-N meeting on implementation took place in Chicago during the G-I-N conference. This meeting included presentation of the prelimininary results of the survey developed by the group and discussions around the taxonomy of implementation methods based on findings.
