  What is the current practice in using quality systematic reviews to inform evidence-based guidelines? Diverse groups producing systematic reviews and developing clinical guidelines will come together to learn from one another and to stimulate thinking about our work in new ways. They will share successes, pitfalls, current challenges and future opportunities for producing better evidence-based guidelines. Approaches to grading evidence, the critical importance of developing guidelines that are actionable, and the benefits of systematic reviewer/guideline developer collaborations will be strong themes. The question of what ensures a trusted guideline will be addressed from a consumer advocacy, government agency and international perspective. Podcast. Conference report
  
• July 10-11 , 2008: Priority setting for systematic reviews, a conference sponsored by the US Cochrane Center, Baltimore, MD
  
  How do we decide which systematic review to do? Is there an ideal system for prioritizing which systematic reviews get done, or are there many ways to make the decision? Policy makers, health care providers, consumers and payers will come together to share current practice, innovative approaches, and untested models to set priorities. Conference participants will explore new and existing priority setting models through plenary sessions, case studies, debates,workshops and discussions. Models, criteria, standards and methods will be presented by a wide variety of individuals and agencies involved in producing systematic reviews. Podcast Conference Report
