The development of practice guidelines typically involves a rigorous process that includes a review of existing research, expert consensus, and stakeholder input. Organizations like the American Nurses Association and NICE often spearhead these efforts. Key steps in the development process include:
Identifying the clinical question or issue. Conducting a systematic review of the literature. Drafting the guideline with input from experts and stakeholders. Peer review and public comment. Finalizing and disseminating the guideline.
