	Maryann Napoli, CUE member and Associate Director, Center for Medical Consumers, appeared on the Washington Journal (Friday, November 20, 2009) Presentations from the Stakeholder Summit on Using Quality Systematic Reviews to Inform Evidence-based Guidelines (June 4 -5, 2009) 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.
