This page is for organizations focused on synthesizing evidence and producing clinical guidance to document best practices, tools, resources, needs, and other aspects of their work. The purpose for this documentation is to help these organizations become more efficient and effective in their efforts - including ensuring that their output is optimally developed into CDS performance measures and implemented by other stakeholders in the knowledge ecosystem for COVID-19 and beyond. The first set of tables apply broadly to COVID-19 (and other targets), and the second set of tables refer to evidence and guidance specifically related to the Collaborative’s current focus targets; i.e., COVID-19 testing and triage in ED and ambulatory settings, and anticoagulant use.
Those providing data for these tables should consider, "What do you want those who seek to implement 'living guidance' to know about evidence synthesis and guidance development strategies and tools to make their efforts more successful? Likewise, "What do you want to know about efforts of others working in the knowledge ecosystem to make your efforts more successful?"
If you have been requested to provide information for these tables by a project lead and need a Word version to do this, use this document.
