Objective
Recognizing
the critical importance of transparently developed and clearly stated
guideline recommendations to effective implementation, GLIDES will
work closely with AAO-HNS to provide tools and guidance to improve
guideline development and reporting processes. The effectiveness of
the tools and guidance will be evaluated and, in future GLIDES’
years, will be promoted for use by other guideline development
organization.
GLIDES
Research Questions To Be Addressed
How
can “knowledge transformation”, necessary for successful
CDS implementation, be simplified by improving the clarity and
specificity of guidelines during development?
What
portions of the current knowledge transformation stack can
potentially be moved “upstream” to the guideline
development process?
What
tools and authoring techniques, such as BridgeWiz and eGLIA, can
facilitate this shift?
What
knowledge products and specifications should guideline developers
provide to integrate with “downstream” CDS design work
performed by guideline implementers (at Level 3 and 4)?
Can
performance measurement considerations be embedded into the
guideline authoring process?
