Summary
A new RIGHT-MuSE checklist standardizes reporting of stakeholder engagement in practice guidelines. This tool aids guideline developers in transparently documenting how diverse interest groups are involved, enhancing guideline quality.
Area of Science:
- Health research methodology
- Clinical practice guideline development
- Stakeholder engagement in healthcare
Background:
- Systematic engagement of relevant interest groups is crucial for developing practice guidelines.
- The existing Reporting Items for practice Guidelines in HealThcare (RIGHT) checklist lacks specific guidance on reporting stakeholder engagement processes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a standardized checklist for reporting interest-holder engagement in practice guidelines.
- The new checklist is named the RIGHT-MuSE (Methods for Understanding Stakeholder Engagement) checklist.
Main Methods:
- Development followed Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR) Network recommendations.
- Key steps included protocol development, project registration, working group establishment, background research, item generation, consensus survey, panel discussions, and final checklist creation.
- International collaboration involved 25 panelists from diverse guideline development interest-holder groups.
Main Results:
- The final RIGHT-MuSE checklist comprises 11 items.
- Items cover guidance used, engagement methods, interest-holder characteristics, engagement evaluation, and conflict of interest management.
- A supplementary explanation and elaboration document with a glossary is provided.
Conclusions:
- The RIGHT-MuSE checklist offers a standardized tool for guideline developers to report interest-holder engagement comprehensively.
- This facilitates transparency and potentially improves the quality and applicability of practice guidelines.
