Developing reliable clinical practice guidelines is crucial for safe healthcare. New standards and tools like the MAGICapp facilitate guideline creation, dissemination, and updates, improving evidence-based medical practice.
Area of Science:
- Health Sciences
- Medical Informatics
- Evidence-Based Medicine
Context:
- Clinical practice guidelines are essential for safe and effective healthcare.
- Existing guidelines often suffer from methodological weaknesses and outdated content.
- New standards increase demands for expertise and time in guideline development.
Purpose:
- To describe the application of new standards, methods, and tools for creating, disseminating, and updating clinical practice guidelines.
- To introduce the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system for guideline elaboration.
- To present the Making GRADE the Irresistible Choice (MAGIC) project and its MAGICapp platform as solutions for guideline management.
Summary:
- The article outlines a systematic approach to developing reliable clinical practice guidelines using the GRADE system.
- It highlights the MAGIC project and MAGICapp as innovative solutions for efficient guideline production, dissemination, and dynamic updating.
- A Norwegian guideline on novel oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation, published via MAGICapp, serves as a practical example.
Impact:
- Facilitates the creation and maintenance of high-quality, trustworthy clinical practice guidelines.
- Enhances the accessibility and usability of evidence-based recommendations for healthcare professionals.
- Supports the dynamic updating of guidelines to reflect the latest medical evidence, improving patient care.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
