The project aims to update and expand Guideline 1.0 with an international guideline group.
Methodologically, the update will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Standing Committee on Guidelines of the Association of Scientific Medical Societies (AWMF).
Relevant interest-holders, particularly health information developers and patient representatives, as well as researchers, will be actively involved throughout the entire process as members of the guideline panel. The guideline panel will be responsible for identifying and prioritizing relevant research questions and outcomes, as well as formulating and grading the guideline recommendations. The certainty of the evidence will be assessed, and recommendations will be developed using the GRADE approach.
To ensure that the guidelines remain up to date, selected PICO questions and recommendations will be continuously reviewed and adapted in line with a living guideline approach.
In addition, a practical support tool will be developed as part of a co-creation process to facilitate the applicability of the guidelines in the everyday work of health information developers.
