If you have read my previous post on this topic, you know that I am involved in a systematic review with a complicated title “Local Consensus Process: Effects on professional practice and health care outcomes” (I know, I know, sounds complicated, you need to read the previous post to understand the topic). My review is one review among a number of reviews on implementing guidelines conducted by different author groups around the world in collaboration with the Effective Practice and Organisation Cochrane review group of the Cochrane Collaboration. So lots of clever people (FORTUNATELY!) have thought through some of the difficulties in conducting these types of reviews (before I got involved) and am following their methods. The methods are long and complex. I explained a little bit in the previous post but do like to talk about a part that I think is quite clever in this post.
