Our friends at the Guidelines International
Network (G-I-N) ask that you make sure you mark your calendar for the North
American Webinar Series event on March 29. The topic this month features
speakers from the Agency for Healthcare,
Research, and Quality (AHRQ) and the National
Guidelines Clearinghouse (NGC). These two speakers will address their
organizations’ approaches to addressing
the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Standards and their implications for the North
American Guideline Development Community. They will discuss their phased
approach to the IOM Standards for Trustworthy Guidelines. They also are interested
in feedback from members of the North American guideline community on how best to
meet their needs as end users of the NGC. Please see the rest of the webinar information below. We hope you will
attend!
