Medical guidelines
In partnership with Highland Data a very experienced organization of academically (medically) trained information experts has been formed. We have a long track record of working with many large and smaller clients for the customized process from needs assessment, idea generation, implementation to production and update management.
For our medical guideline production services we organize and manage the expert review teams, research & review the medical literature, produce first draft versions, initiate, gather, and process feedback, communicate between team and committee chairs, and guide and streamline the publication processes.
This approach delivers simple & compact results for straightforward communication & sharing of knowledge. We focus on truly useful and easy to implement recommendations for clinicians worldwide.
With our production model important benefits are achieved: relatively short throughput times, transparent process & structure, predictable cost-savings, efficient use of expert’s time & knowledge, a sound balance between medical evidence and the reality of clinical practice , resource-sensitive global guidelines, easy to maintain ‘living’ documents, and greater visibility for a society or association and a higher impact for your society publications
