*Optimising information retrieval methods for HTA *
*- towards best practice*
Join us for the full day pre-conference workshop of the HTAi Information
Resources Group held on *Sunday June 6th 2010,* as a part of the annual
HTAi (http://www.htai.org <http://www.htai.org/>) meeting in Dublin!
The IRG Workshop 2010 theme is *“Optimising information retrieval
methods for HTA - towards best practice”*. The workshop will focus on
systematic methods to identify studies for HTAs and other evidence
syntheses. The full day workshop is divided into three sessions:
The morning session will involve presentations outlining policy and
practice of the Cochrane Collaboration, CADTH and the Norwegian
Knowledge Centre for the Health Services, focusing on key issues of
information retrieval such as which sources to search, limits to
searches, updating searches and reporting the search process and the
search strategies. These presentations will be interspersed with
audience participation, reflecting on and comparing the presentations
and adding experience from their own organisations.
The afternoon sessions will be devoted to searching trials registers,
and key economic resources. Trials registers, results registers and
other research registers are developing quickly and provide challenges
in terms of identification, efficient searching and record management.
This session will involve presentations accompanied by group discussion
of several key trials registers, and will focus on the scope of the
resources and approaches to structuring searches. The final session will
include a presentation on key economic resources and methods of
searching them followed by a structured group discussion of the relative
value of the key resources, additional key resources and search
approaches adopted by different teams.
