Abstract:
Guideline development is improved when diverse stakeholders, including patients, specialists, and experts, share power in the process, from defining the scope of the question to the final stages of review. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) and Guidelines International Network (G-I-N) have each released best-practice standards for clinical guidelines that place health care consumers at the forefront of guideline development.
