Practice and Policy
MEDICI brings together the best available medical evidence, as well as evidence from additional domains such as economics, opportunity costs, and social/legal/ethical/environmental considerations in order to inform healthcare policy and decision makers on the most critical topics in current global surgery, anesthesia, and perioperative care in a way that applies to their specific healthcare setting. MEDICI guides policy development, decision-making and clinical practice through contextualized, evidence-based knowledge translation to be used in real-world surgical settings. Examples of knowledge translation include clinical care guidelines, clinical care algorithms, Know4Go reports, consensus statements, decision-support tools and apps, and interactive data visuals.
