being used for the Evidence-based Oncall effort

t ests
Dear All,
I am writing to enquire if any one know of a system for grading evidence
and making guideline recommendations for comparative tests for diagnostics.
Most of the systems that I have seen have really only referred to MA,
systematic reviews and RCTS for therapeutics.

Subject: Clinical governance
Apologies for cross-postings.
The Nuffield Institute for Health (a department of the
University of
Leeds) has been commissioned by directors of public health
in the
six Yorkshire health authorities to conduct a review of
clinical
governance arrangements.
In this review we would like to include work done by other
health
authorities, NHS trusts or primary care groups. We are
particularly
interested in any guidance that might have been developed
locally,
and in research on different methods of implementation.
If you have been involved in implementing clinical
governance and
are willing to share details about your work, please contact
me
directly at the address given below.
Thanking you in advance,
Amanda Bowens
