Summary
The Lebanese Economic Evaluation Guideline (LEEG) was developed using a WHO-based process, involving experts and stakeholders. This transparent development aims to aid future guideline creation in Lebanon and globally.
Area of Science:
- Health Economics
- Guideline Development
- Public Health Policy
Background:
- Economic evaluations are crucial for healthcare decision-making.
- Lebanon lacked specific guidelines for economic evaluations in healthcare.
- Standardized guidelines are needed to ensure evidence-based resource allocation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To detail the development process of the Lebanese Economic Evaluation Guideline (LEEG).
- To provide a framework and resources for future guideline developers.
- To ensure transparency and applicability of economic evaluation guidelines in a national context.
Main Methods:
- Adoption of the World Health Organization's guideline development process.
- Formation of a Guideline Development Group with Lebanese experts.
- Systematic reviews for evidence retrieval and assessment.
- Deliberative process including surveys, interviews, and consensus workshops with 16 stakeholders.
- Consultation with international experts from Maastricht University.
- Quantitative data analysis using SPSS software.
Main Results:
- Successful development of the Lebanese Economic Evaluation Guideline (LEEG).
- Comprehensive documentation of the evidence-based guideline creation process.
- Engagement of 16 key Lebanese stakeholders in the deliberative process.
- International expert consultation ensured adherence to global standards.
Conclusions:
- The transparent development process of the LEEG serves as a model for other countries.
- The LEEG will be publicly available for consultation, fostering broader adoption.
- Clear reporting of guideline development supports international and national implementation efforts.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
2.8K
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
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...

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:23Methods of Documentation V: CBE
908
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

01:12Hazard Ratio
136
The hazard ratio (HR) is a widely used measure in clinical trials to compare the risk of events, such as death or disease recurrence, between two groups over time. It reflects the ratio of hazard rates—the instantaneous risk of the event occurring—between a treatment group and a control group. This measure provides valuable insights into the relative effectiveness of a treatment by assessing how the risk of an event differs between the two groups.
