This repository provides essential forms OMERACT Working Groups need to develop a Core Domain Set in alignment with OMERACT methodology. Forms are organized according to the steps outlined in the OMERACT checklists, supporting the systematic development and selection processes for core domains and instruments (parts A & B).
OMERACT Checklist for Developing or Updating Core Domain Sets
1. Initiating Core Domain Set Development and Forming A Working Group
2. Work Plan Development
- 2.1 Describe the PICOC (Population, Intervention, Control, Outcome, Context)
- 2.2 Core Domain Set Development Work Plan
- 2.3 Check-In: Work plan review
3. Generating
- 3.1 Scoping review to identify candidate domains
- 3.2 Qualitative work to identify candidate domains
- 3.3 Binning & Winnowing
- 3.4 Check-In: Domain Generation Review and Plans for Delphi
4. Agreeing
- 4.1 Prioritization of candidate domains through Delphi Survey
- 4.2 Check-In: Delphi Results
- 4.3 Formulation of Draft Core Domains and their Detailed Definitions
- 4.4 Deliverable: Submission of the Draft Core Domain Set to the Technical Advisory Group
5. Endorsement
OMERACT Instrument Selection Checklist: Part A
1. Review the composition of the working group
2. Understand What You Are Intending to Measure: the Target Domain
3. Identify at Least One Candidate Instrument for the Target Domain
4. Domain Match and Feasibility Assessment, Brief Review for Discrimination Evidence
- 4.1 Decide on Methods Protocol for Domain Match and Feasibility Assessment
- 4.2 Check-in: Protocol review
- 4.3 Domain match assessment
- 4.4 Feasibility assessment
- 4.5 Decision Point: Is the Instrument a Match with the Domain and Feasible for Use?
- 4.6 (Recommended): Scan of Literature to Find Evidence of Measurement Property Performance
5. Deliverable: Instrument Selection Part A findings
