3.1
As we work to deliver on our commitment to incorporate NICE technology appraisals into NICE guidelines, we will continue to review and update our approach as needed (see section 1.8). We will focus initially on areas where the incorporation of NICE technology appraisals using the methods described above is less likely to meet user needs. Examples of limitations to the incorporation process include situations where:
-
new evidence is available which might support expanding the patient population in an existing NICE technology appraisal recommendation to improve health outcomes
-
we identify a NICE technology appraisal recommendation that is no longer aligned with current clinical practice
-
it is difficult for users to navigate crowded decision points (for example, where there are both NICE technology appraisals and other types of NICE guidance)
