Development of computable guidelines: GIN McMaster guideline development checklist extension for computable guidelines

This study demonstrates that the defined principles in the L1 Checklist, grounded in current guideline development standards, may significantly enhance the writing, development, and implementation of computable recommendations. Collaboration among guideline developers, implementers, and informaticists from the outset is crucial for achieving effective integration of these guidelines into clinical workflows. Future work should focus on assessing this extension within various ongoing learning initiatives and point-of-care digitization efforts, including the scholarly communications ecosystem and learning health systems, to further improve healthcare delivery.
