guideline development process

The guideline development process involves gathering experts and reviewing current research to create clear recommendations for best practices in a specific area. First, a team identifies the topic and sets questions to answer. They review and analyze high-quality evidence from studies, balancing benefits and harms. The team then drafts guidelines, often seeking feedback from stakeholders. Once finalized, the guidelines are published and regularly updated to reflect new evidence. This process ensures recommendations are trustworthy, consistent, and based on the best available information to support informed decision-making.
