This is my first posting and I applaud Dr. Evidence for making the bulletin board available.

By way of introduction, I work with the American Psychiatric Association on their practice guidelines and we have just begun to work with Dr. Evidence. I am also on the faculty in Psychiatry at Stony Brook University in New York. My other interests relate to electronic health records and integrating guidelines into EHRs to improve quality of care. The CDC has recently embarked on a project that I've been participating in on "Adapting Guidelines for the Digital Age" (https://www.cdc.gov/ophss/WhatWeDoACG.html).

Are any other GROWTH members involved in the CDC initiative? Do any of you have informatics experts involved in your guideline development? Other ideas about integrating guidelines into electronic records or digital platforms would be welcomed as well!
