Proposed Project
Human-Centered Design Effort on
Bringing Guidelines to the Digital Age—
Existing Collection in Use Without an
OMB Control Number—Office of Public
Health Data, Surveillance, and
Technology (OPHDST), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Given the increased demand to
improve clinical guideline development
and implementation, a new approach
that began with an initiative on
Adapting Clinical Guidelines for the
Digital Age has been expanded by
Guidelines International Network North
America to implement a future state of
guideline development and
implementation that leverages
advancements in technology. To
identify pain points in the process, there
were discussions with individuals from
multiple perspectives in guidelines
development and implementation.
CDC requests approval for an Existing
Collection in Use Without an OMB
Control Number, for Human-Centered
Design Effort on Bringing Guidelines to
the Digital Age. Data from this project
will be used to inform the structure of
a human-centered design workshop
where participants use the pain points
identified from the semi-structured
interviews as the starting point for
exploring insights about guideline
development and implementation.
The burden estimates include the
time for respondents to be interviewed.
The estimated annual burden for
respondents 33 hours. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time to
participate.
