National Clinical Effectiveness Committee
 |
The NCEC is now working with the prioritised guideline developers in order to confirm that their guidelines have been developed with a robust process ensuring that the guidelines will improve health outcomes, reduce variation in practice, improve quality of clinical decisions, influence health service policy and inform service users and the public about the service they should be receiving. The NCEC also seeks to provide guidance on the development of clinical guidelines using a robust clinical guideline development process. The Draft National Clinical Effectiveness Committee Clinical Guideline Development Manual has been developed to assist all guideline development groups, whether or not they plan to submit their guideline to the NCEC. Welcoming the progress achieved in its first year, the Minister said "this is further evidence of the Government’s efforts to achieve the culture change that the Commission on Patient Safety and Quality Assurance spoke of and to ensure that patient safety is our number one priority." The NCEC is seeking submission of guidelines for consideration with a view to national endorsement. Please refer to http://www.patientsafetyfirst.ie/index.php/ncec.html for further information. The deadline for submission of clinical guidelines is the 20th August 2012.
