Evidence grading system ICSI has developed a system for evaluating the evidence on which health care guidelines and technology assessment reports are based. The system includes an evaluation of individual research reports and an assessment of the overall strength of the evidence supporting a particular conclusion or recommendation. Quality of individual research reports is assessed using a rating system that is more quickly understood and more easily used by practcing physicians than many of the complex and lengthy scales available in the literature. The description of the system, excerpted from a recent article in the Joint Commission Journal on Quality Improvement, is available in our Clinical Improvement Methods section. Medical Groups' Experience Three medical groups that developed strong patient registries were interviewed about how they used them.
