Description Background In addition to formal recommendations, guidelines frequently include other types of statements that take the form and actionability of recommendations such as good practice statements, research recommendations and implementation considerations. These statements differ in their development process, purpose, and implications for implementation. We developed a taxonomy and framework that identifies and presents actionable statements in guidelines, which can help guideline developers develop the appropriate statement to inform healthcare practice. The framework recognizes informal recommendations that need to be avoided considering the lack of clear link to supporting evidence and/or lack of description of the process of development. Objectives 1. To enhance the knowledge on the five different types of actionable statements and how to use the taxonomy to distinguish them, 2. To identify the different types of statements, 3. To develop the actionable statements given different types of existing evidence, 4. To gather feedback on the framework.
