Living Guidelines with Indico

Living guidelines are being touted as the next frontier in the evolution of clinical guidelines in practice.  The living guideline concept can be thought of as the optimization of the guideline development resources to facilitate updating individual recommendations as soon as new evidence becomes available.

The key advantage of the living guideline concept is that only small parts of the guideline are updated, thus promoting a shorter time between evidence publication and guideline update. 

Practicing the development of living guidelines is not possible without appropriate tools.  The Indico Platform has been specifically tailored to allow guideline developers undertake a living guidelines program.  A short overview of this is outlined below.
