    4 Incorporating positive and negative NICE technology appraisal recommendations

    4.1

    When NICE technology appraisal guidance that is in the scope of a NICE guideline topic area is published, its recommendation(s) will be incorporated into the guideline topic area. There will be no change to the meaning, intent or funding requirement (when applied) in the recommendation(s). The incorporation process, will be done in NICE and will consider whether:

    • there are any existing treatment options in the decision space

    • topic expert input is needed

    • additional guideline recommendations are needed to ensure that the care pathway is clear in presenting all the appropriate treatment options.

    4.2

    When existing technology appraisal recommendations are identified in the same decision space, all relevant technology appraisal recommendations (existing and newly published) will be incorporated. The timelines for this process will be tested on the pilot topics, and details will be added when the finalised methods and processes are consulted on.
