iEtD

iEtD facilitates structured, transparent Evidence to Decision (EtD) frameworks to support evaluation of clinical interventions, diagnostic and screening tests, coverage decisions, and public health options.

Key Features:

• Systematic framework development: Enables creation of tailored Evidence to Decision (EtD) frameworks for evaluating clinical practice interventions, diagnostic and screening tests, coverage options, and public health strategies.
• Iterative prototyping: Supports iterative refinement of EtD framework content and tool functionality using a broad range of methods.
• Interactive functionality: Provides interactive features to prepare frameworks, support group discussions, and publish outputs for implementation or adaptation.
• Multicriteria decision support: Structures evidence evaluation across multiple criteria to address multicriteria, multistakeholder decision problems.
• Transparency and structure: Captures and publishes structured evidence and rationale to increase transparency and traceability of panel deliberations and outputs.

Scientific Applications:

• Clinical practice interventions: Supports decision-making about clinical interventions by structuring the evaluation and synthesis of evidence.
• Diagnostic and screening tests: Informs decisions on implementation and coverage of diagnostic and screening tests by organizing relevant evidence and criteria.
• Health system and public health options: Applies to health system and public health decision-making across diverse topics and organizational contexts.

Methodology:

Interactive features to prepare frameworks, support group discussions using those frameworks, and publish outputs; mediation by technology to manage boundaries between decision-making groups and target audiences and to enhance salience, credibility, and legitimacy of decisions.
