GuidelinesForMe

I have been constantly frustrated by not being able to find the right guidelines when I need them. In almost every hospital I’ve worked at (in Australia and the UK) the guidelines are located ‘somewhere on the intranet’.

Finding anything on the intranet is inevitably a nightmare and the search function never seems to work.  Why?  Why?  Why?!!

Anyway, I decided enough was enough – it was time to do something about the situation, so I taught myself to code.

The end result is - GuidelinesForMe - a new and hopefully useful #FOAMed resource with over 900 clinical guidelines listed with more being added every day.

The website is effectively a searchable, updatable, customisable guideline repository…where users can

• Sign up (for free)
• Search for clinical guidelines (by specialty, hospital or topic)
• Add clinical guidelines to the collection
• Mark guidelines as favourites for rapid access

EDIT: new feature – can discuss and comment on guidelines

Hope people find it useful – use it, add your own guidelines and let’s build a massive crowd-sourced resource for clinical guidelines.
