Comprehensive diagnostic imaging referral guidelines are an important tool for facilitating referring clinicians and radiologists to determine the safest and best clinical value diagnostic imaging study for their patients. In 2012, the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) released diagnostic imaging guidelines comprising 338 clinical/diagnostic scenarios across 13 sections. In 2021, the CAR began recreating these referral guidelines using a structured, rapid and methodologically robust approach. In this presentation, Candyce Hamel discussed the rapid scoping review methods (e.g., the use of artificial intelligence) to identify existing systematically produced guidelines and the use of the concepts found in GRADE for guidelines (e.g., benefits and harms, values and preferences, accessibility, equity, cost, resources) to formulate the recommendations. Last, she discussed how these recommendations will be integrated into clinical decision support (CDS) systems.
