How primary care research blends with evidence-based medicine to assist with translation and implementation of evidence into practice
Published in Felicity Goodyear-Smith, Bob Mash, Michael Kidd, International Perspectives on Primary Care Research, 2017
However, guidelines themselves could be variable in their scientific validity, reliability and usability. In 2002, an international group of researchers from 13 countries (the Appraisal of Guidelines, Research and Evaluation [AGREE] Collaboration) developed and validated a generic tool to appraise the quality of clinical guidelines.23 This led in turn to the establishment of the Guidelines International Network, with member organisations – such as the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the US National Guideline Clearinghouse – applying the AGREE standardised methods to produce quality guidelines.
Evidence-based medicine and medical informatics
Published in David M. Luesley, Mark D. Kilby, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2016
There are two online databases specifically for guidelines: AHRQ National Guidelines Clearing House, www.guideline.gov (2500 guidelines, free to search and with links to most guidelines)The Guidelines International Network library, http://www.g-i-n.net/library/international-guidelines-library, with 6500 guidelines, is free to search but you need membership to access guidelines.
Guidelines in Asthma

Further research is still required to optimize the implementation of guidelines, but more resources should be made available to accomplish this task, as they are currently mainly allocated to their production and dissemination. Interventions to help translate guidelines into care should be offered and improved. New communications tools such as intelligent telephones, handheld computers, and user-friendly websites offer innovative ways of communicating guideline recommendations.20 Web-based social networks, communities of practice, and other means of interacting are increasingly available. Electronic health records can also possibly help improve access to recommendations at the site of care.55 Forums such as the Guidelines International Network (G-I-N)56 can help exchange ideas on the best methods to effectively translate guidelines.

In terms of stakeholder involvement, while the information on experts involved in guideline development and consideration to target population’s views were clearly articulated in the NHMRC guideline, the roles of the guideline development group members were not clearly described. While the composition of the guideline development group may differ based on the need of the guideline, the roles and responsibilities of the members should be clearly defined in the planning stage.29 It is encouraging that several guideline developers and organisation such as NHMRC,30 SIGN,31 AOA, Guidelines International Network32 and National Institute of Health and Care Excellence, UK (NICE)29 recommend or require patient involvement in their guideline development process. Incorporating patient preferences allows guidelines to be ‘right for patients’ where the evidence base and clinical recommendations are guided by both science and ‘what matters to patients’.33 The methods by which such involvement can occur are diverse and could range from consultation (NHMRC) to guideline development group membership (AOA). In addition, the target users were not clearly identified in the NHMRC guideline and this step is important in guideline development, as it guides further decisions in the scope, objective, and presentation of the guideline and reduces research waste.34 The recently launched ‘Guidelines for Guidelines’ initiative from the NHMRC also emphasises this need for defining the target audience.30

A scoping review was undertaken for CPGs focused on treatment and evidence-based recommendations for individuals with traumatic SCI. The Can-SCIP steering committee consulted with the Health Sciences Librarian at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to assist with the construction of the search. Thirteen electronic health databases and indexes were searched to identify CPGs within SCI. These include but were not limited to: PubMed, Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO, NCCIH Clearinghouse,52 Clinical Key,53 Trip Medical database,54 DynaMed Plus,55 Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network,56 CADTH Grey Matters tool,57 Guidelines International Network,58 and Physiotherapy Evidence Database Ratings (PEDro).59
