Organizing a consensus meeting typically involves several steps:
Selection of Experts: A panel of experts with diverse backgrounds and expertise is chosen to ensure a comprehensive discussion. Pre-Meeting Preparation: Participants review existing literature, studies, and data relevant to the topic. Facilitated Discussions: Structured discussions are held, often facilitated by a neutral moderator, to ensure all viewpoints are considered. Drafting Guidelines: Based on the discussions, a draft of consensus statements or guidelines is prepared. Review and Finalization: The draft is reviewed, revised, and finalized through additional rounds of discussion if necessary.
