Assessment reports
Assessments reports try to give comprehensive information on specific topics, responding to demands coming from decision makers in the Basque Country.
They consist on processes that involve an analysis of needs and the situation in the Basque Country, synthesis of evidence and elaboration of recommendations, which are sometimes in the form of clinical practice guidelines. When it becomes necessary, depending on the perspective of analysis, scenarios for the applicability of the technologies and economic studies are provided to better aid decision makers

The information search focuses primarily on digested or secondary sources, and is intended to identify the most relevant studies in the time of elaboration; therefore it does not involve a systematic and exhaustive review of the topic.
