ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To establish what GIN guideline community members see as the desirable features of a guidelines library and registry of guidelines in development STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: An explorative mixed-methods study was undertaken, including scoping activity and semi-structured interviews with guideline developers and endorsers from nine member organizations of the Guidelines International Network. RESULTS: A small number of desirable features of a guideline library were identified: comprehensiveness; single source of information to avoid searching multiple sites; inclusion of related materials; being up to date; searchability and ease of use. No existing library of guidelines was considered to have all of these features. A number of issues arose out of the desire to have a comprehensive library of guidelines, including inclusion of 'high quality guidelines' and limiting the scope to include only national guidelines. For registries of guidelines in development, the data set should be limited to avoid placing undue burden on those entering information. CONCLUSION: Our findings identify ongoing issues for the guideline community, including the tension between comprehensiveness and ease of use, which can result in limited uptake, reporting of guideline quality and the need for clarity on the purpose of any library or registry.

Ce document est un draft du Protocole du projet d'implantation d'un système d'information sur la nutrition en Haïti suite au séisme de janvier 2010. Celui-ci à pour but d'appuyer le Ministère de la Santé Publique et de la Population haïtien et la communauté internationale présente dans le cadre de la réponse humanitaire, en leurs fournissant une information actualisée sur la mortalité de la population, la prévalence de la malnutrition et la couverture des interventions nutritionnelles. Pour y parvenir, la proposition consiste à mettre en place un système de surveillance prospective communautaire par sites sentinelles.
