"Doing Guideline adaptation right" George Institute for Global Health
I missed the first part of this webinar. I have pasted from the above website below. The Part Of the webinar that I joined described the challenges and roles of the |RIGHT AD@PT checklist. Advanced skills were required for guideline developments. Adapting existing guidelines also requires advanced skills in understanding how the original guidelines were made. The speaker suggested that it was necessary to streamline how the checklist is applied. There was one suggestion that adapting existing guidelines may be as difficult or more difficult than writing new guidelines.

Patient involvement, when given the knowledge and skills, was a useful adjunct to guideline creation and this engagement was a new journey for guideline writers.
Although there are differences between public health and clinical guidelines the speaker felt that the RIGH AD@PT checklist worked for both.
"What is the RIGHT-Ad@pt checklist
The RIGHT-Ad@pt checklist contains 34 items grouped in 7 sections to inform the reporting of adapted guidelines: 1) basic information (7 items), 2) scope (6 items), 3) rigor of development (10 items), 4) recommendations (4 items), 5) external review and quality assurance (2 items), 6) funding, declaration, and management of interest (2 items), and 7) other information (3 items).
The RIGHT-Ad@pt checklist can be used to guide the reporting of adapted guidelines, including the adaptation process ("Rigor of development" section) and the adapted recommendations ("Recommendations" section). The checklist can also be applied to assess the completeness of reporting and - in combination with available adaptation frameworks - to inform adaptation processes.
How to use the checklist
The RIGHT-Ad@pt checklist was developed as a reporting checklist to inform and assess the reporting of adapted guidelines. Users of the checklist should apply it along with the complete User Guide. Each judgement made by users should be clearly documented and reported.
The RIGHT-Ad@pt is not intended to be an aid to the adaptation process or a quality assessment tool, but users should pay attention to reporting requirements during the planning stage. It is recommended that checklist users do not score each item or add them up to create an overall score. Instead, we encourage users to interpret the reporting according to the answers and make an overall judgement.
We have submitted the RIGHT-Ad@pt checklist for publication in a high impact journal. For detailed development methods, please refer to our protocol
