description
The goal of the CPG-RA project is to develop an international, shareable, standard ‘Reference Architecture’ that supports the development and implementation of shareable guidelines by all relevant stakeholders. The particular stress of the project is to base the Reference Architecture on fully documented ‘use cases’ relevant to potential users (authors, evaluators, implementers and clinicians).

A wide range of stakeholders are targeted:

  • Guideline producers
  • Guideline implementers
  • Health care system policy advisors
  • Clinicians working with patients
  • Patients
