Clinical Content Validity Guidelines
Speakers
for Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine must assure,
implicitly or explicitly, that any clinical recommendations made are
valid for use in the care of patients. All scientific research referred
to, reported in, or used in CME in support or justification of a patient
care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards
of experimental design, data collection, and analysis. The following
must be adhered to:
- Clinical care
recommendations must be based on evidence that is accepted
within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for
their use
- All the recommendations
involving clinical medicine in a CME activity must be based
on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine
as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications
in the care of patients
- A recommendation
on clinical care must be more than firmly held beliefs or hopes
for efficacy
- Data or information accepted within the profession
of medicine that supports the recommendation
- The conclusions
drawn from the data must be those that would be reasonably
drawn from those data
The validation
of clinical content does not mean that every clinician in the country
accepts the recommendation or that the recommendation
is part of FDA-labeling. An important part of validity is the scientific
integrity of the data from which the conclusions are drawn and the clinical
recommendations crafted.
