Clinical guidelines are invaluable tools in ensuring that patients receive the best available care, however there are many shortcomings associated with traditional guidelines, primarily their risk of becoming outdated as new evidence becomes available, and their inability to adapt to changes in policy and practice. Living guideline methods encompass a dynamic process of updating recommendations, context and scope, helping to overcome issues inherent in traditional guidelines by ensuring that the evidence base and supporting information remains up-to-date. Although living methods are still evolving, they have been successfully applied to many different topic areas including COVID-19, stroke and diabetes care.
