Equipping organizations

MAGIC is more than just a platform, we are a Foundation committed to improving patient care globally through building software, providing expert support, and undertaking research to enable those creating guidance to reach high standards of trustworthiness.

Through our consultancy services we enable more people globally to create, update and use trustworthy guidance by developing a comprehensive support and education offering.

Here are some examples of the services we provide to equip organizations globally to succeed. Please get in touch if you think we could help your organization develop its guideline offering.

How we can help

Digitalising your guideline processes

One of the primary goals of the MAGIC Evidence Ecosystem Foundation is to support guideline organizations to move to digital structured guidelines to allow for improved accessibility and easier updating, dissemination, adaptation and re-use.

We provide consultancy services in this area to help you plan your move to digitally structured guidelines using MAGICapp.

Adopting Living Processes

Based on our expertise in living guidelines, we can help organizations consider the implications of moving to living guidelines, assess the need for living guidelines, and provide pragmatic support to help you make that transition.
