15 Suggestion&remarks Main results: breast In USA, most of of the documents are from scientific societies, while in in Europe most are from governmental agencies: two kinds of of health systems produced different guidelines and/or documents reporting recommendations

16 EU cancer screening GLs: appraisal AGREE (1) EU GGLL AGREE score improved from 2006 to 2010: 1) better quality of methodology 2) more consistency between objective and contents, from quality assurance of the single procedure to QA of the whole screening process EU 2006: (breast) EU 2008 (cervical) EU 2010 (colorectal)

17 1. 1. The assessment of of quality can t be be carried out by by a single clinician and the decision making by by a single specialist could be be weak A GL GL must be be a part of of a more complex frame of of managing clinical problems. A good-quality-gl is is a tool tool for for having having standards to to use use in in the the evaluation of of clinical clinical processes, outputs outputs and and outcomes. Therefore it it should should be be a part part of of a more more complex system system on on improving quality, quality, besides besides audit, audit, training and and so so on. on. But But the the frame frame of of governance is is actually different if ifwe are are considering the the management responsibility at at local local or or regional level. level. Even Even different if if we we are are at at the the policy policy making making level. level Not (only) wishing for for the actual use of of a GL: it it is is the case of of managing the issue of of knowledge in in a broader scenario: that of of governance

18 The governance Stewardship: subfunctions Formulating strategic policy framework Generation of of intelligence Ensuring tools for implementation Ensuring a fit fit between policy objectives and organizational structure and culture; Building coalitions/building partnerships Ensuring accountability Travis P,.
