The Project Team Guideline 2.0

Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin

“I am pleased to take on the leadership of the project to update and expand the Evidence-Based Health Information guideline. I bring experience from the development, publication, and implementation of version 1.0, as well as from numerous additional projects focused on the quality of health information and its provision for diverse target audiences. In my role as spokesperson for the Patient Information and Involvement working group of the EbM Network, I hope to actively engage its members in the guideline update process.”

“I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the update of the guideline. In my previous research, I have focused on the information needs and preferences of patients with regard to health information. Currently, I am examining the information and support needs of health information developers in order to adapt the guideline to the needs of those developing health information.”

“I am delighted to be involved in the project to update and expand the Guideline Evidence-based Health Information, contributing my many years of experience in the development of evidence-based health information. Together with my colleagues, I developed a training programme for implementing the guideline. I am also a member of the sounding board for the Bertelsmann Foundation’s InfoCure project for certifying trustworthy providers of digital health information.”

“I am delighted to contribute my previous project experience to updating the guideline. This includes developing health information and evaluating information quality using the MAPPinfo checklist, which is based on the guideline recommendations, as well as developing the MAPPinfo Evaluation Toolkit. In this project, I am particularly keen to support the creators of health information in applying the updated guideline.”

„I look forward to contributing to the project on updating and expanding the Guideline Evidence-based Health Information, bringing in my many years of experience in the development of decision-support interventions, including patient decision aids and decision coaching. In addition, I was involved in the implementation study of the previous version of the guideline as part of the IMLEGI project. My goal is to promote the development and provision of high-quality, evidence-based health information and decision-support tools for all citizens, and I am eager to actively contribute to the further development of the corresponding quality standards.„

“I am a psychologist and professor of health communication at the Metropolitan University of Oslo, Norway. I have been doing research in the field of shared decision making, medical uncertainty, evidence-based health information and action regulation over many years. I was involved in the development of the MAPPinfo checklist for quality of health information, which operationalises the current guideline recommendations and I will lead the adjustment of the instrument according to the guideline update.”

The South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority

“I lead a strategic, regional implementation project on Shared Decision Making (SDM) in the Health Region of Helse Sør-Øst in Norway. The project focuses on an evidence-informed and multidimensional promotion of SDM, including SDM training for healthcare professionals, the measurement of patient involvement, and the development and evaluation of decision-support interventions, such as patient decision aids and decision coaching. With this in mind, I highly value the opportunity to contribute to this international project, as high-quality, evidence-based patient information is a key prerequisite for enabling patients to make informed health decisions.”
