This first-of-its kind experience will be comprised of three interconnected tracks: Track #1: Forming Recommendations Using GRADE The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system provides a transparent approach to rating the quality of evidence. GRADE considers patient values and preferences in the course of developing recommendations. Participants will learn to use this system. They should be individuals involved in guideline development or in defining health care policy. Track #2: Implementing Clinical Evidence in Care Settings Also called “knowledge translation”, implementation science skills equip participants to successfully install evidencebased policies and pathways in their care settings. Participants will learn how to systematically Identify the obstacles confronting such efforts and the means of overcoming them. They should be individuals who are involved in developing and implementing clinical policy in their care centers. Track #3: Evidence Based Individualized Care Participants will learn how to harness the value of scientific evidence within individualized patient care. Innovative approaches to “traditional” evidence-based medicine cover the full range of required skills within a practice-based framework. Skills pertaining to the patient/practitioner interaction and relationship will be emphasized. Participants should be individuals with direct responsibility for patient care and clinical education.
