How to Develop a Guideline
 Previous Question | Main page | Next Question 
What are the criteria for selection of potential practice guideline
topics?
Potential topics will be identified through the submission of
the Evidence-Based
Clinical Practice Guideline Proposal Application. The ACCP
NetWorks, the ACCP membership, and/or other organizations may submit
applications. Criteria to be considered when selecting a topic
include:
-
Conditions or interventions that potentially have high public
health impact and for which disease management could be significantly
improved by a change in clinical practice.
-
Clinical topics where treatment or diagnostic strategies
are continually evolving.
-
Topics that have a body of published evidence for development
of a clinical practice guideline.
-
Topics that reflect the constituency of the ACCP and that
may cross over to other disciplines
