Consensus Guidelines
-
Hi there,
I am working on an APS that will include consensus guidelines recommendations. Unfortunately, the actual published guidelines are a bit hard to digest due to word order and grammatical issues. Are we allowed to reorganize a clinical recommendation's wording such that it is clearer, or do recommendations need to be verbatim pulled from their publications? We intend to keep wording consistent, but we wish to reorder and split it into bullet points rather than a lengthy sentence.
Thank you in advance! -
Claims based on acceptable, authoritative consensus guidelines do not need to be verbatim from the reference. However, it must capture the recommendation accurately and within context. It must not impart a new or different meaning than the guidelines.
