EGD Development Process and Overview
EGD Development Process
This document provides an overview of the multi-step process used to develop EGDs. Though presented as linear steps, the tasks may be iterative and there is flexibility in how the steps are completed. Our goal is to develop an EGD with clear and actionable recommendations on the design of clinical studies that are maximally informative for healthcare decision making by patients, clinicians and payers. The document includes a flowchart illustrating the process.
General Overview of EGDs
The Center for Medical Technology Policy (CMTP) supports the development of Effectiveness Guidance Documents (EGDs) to provide specific recommendations on the design of prospective studies intended to inform decisions by patients, clinicians and payers. EGDs do not provide general methodological advice, but rather offer study design recommendations that are specific to a defined clinical condition and/or category of clinical interventions. The purpose of EGDs is to better align the design of clinical research with the information needs of patients, clinicians, and payers. This is achieved by engaging these decision makers in formulating the recommendations.
