The CRGC Steering Committee focuses on collaborative initiatives to more efficiently produce and update guidelines, ensuring that these efforts quickly translate into significant improvements in respiratory care, with the ultimate goal of optimizing management of respiratory disorders in Canada.
1) Produce high-quality respiratory guidelines in a timely manner and improve the
implementation into care:
- Update respiratory guidelines annually while reducing the burden of the guideline development process through a well articulated process
- Produce a repertoire of Canadian and international respiratory guidelines and key-implementation initiatives (website)
- Publish a compendium of respiratory guidelines and practice tools
- Develop new guidelines: pulmonary vascular diseases, home mechanical ventilation guidelines for adults and pediatrics, pulmonary fibrosis, etc.
- Improve the quality, validity and implementability of respiratory guidelines using recognized methodological tools
- Establish effective dissemination and implementation strategies
2) Evaluate implementation initiatives
3) Engage target audiences (multidisciplinary approach)
