Abstract

The BMJ-RapidRecs project represents a collaboration between MAGIC and The BMJ. In response to potentially practice-changing evidence a guideline panel creates recommendations and all underlying content in MAGICapp, informed by linked systematic reviews. The BMJ publishes the recommendations and systematic reviews in their journals.
