ADAPTE

The AOTMIT cooperated with the Supreme Medical Chamber, to translate the The ADAPTE Manual and Toolkit into Polish (ADAPTE. Adaptacja wytycznych: pakiet narzędzi (ADAPTE. Guideline Adaptation:  Resource Toolkit))

The ADAPTE Manual and Toolkit include a description of the methodology and toolkit supporting the adaptation of clinical practice guidelines as one of the methods of developing diagnostic and therapeutic pathway recommendations:

• they ensure a systematic approach to the application or modification of existing guidelines developed in one cultural and organisational context for use in another;
• they enable adaptation of documents to specific needs, priorities, legislation, policies and conditions;
• they are addressed to the needs of different user groups (i.a. authors of guidelines, healthcare providers and decision-makers at the local and national level) interested in developing or implementing guidelines.

The whole process has been designed to ensure:

• flexibility;
• possibility of adapting to specific resources and the target context;
• improvement of the quality and relevance of the adapted guidelines.
