No more misdiagnosis:
that’s our BAW goal.
To ‘guide’ the clinician in his or her decision scheme, when diagnosing ‘you’ as a vestibular patient...
Dizzy Me is working with EBM Practicenet (the Evidence-Based Medicine platform, which makes guidelines available) and CEBAM (Belgian Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, which produces the guidelines first) on ‘correct medical guidelines’.
This is key to our
‘no more misdiagnosis’ goal.
What did we do & current step:
* After a first official interpellation with a ‘summary advice’ towards EBM (which I did 10 days ago and which will be used for discussion amongst professionals on this platform)
* I will now set up the multidisciplinar workgroup that will work on CEBAM guidelines for Belgium (CEBAM makes them, EBM makes them available)
* >> with the intention to spread this on international scale as a next step!
Ten days ago I selected and sent my email to several doctors, asking them to join the team and to work on this.
Sending that mail doesn’t mean we have a team yet; they still have to say ‘yes, we want this change and we want to work on this’.
* So it is very crucial now to inform this workgroup of doctors about the petition for change, which has reached 3884 signatures by now. Please keep signing (with comment please) and sharing.
* If we want them to say ‘yes’, this time your visible support online is extremely important and very welcome. It will make or break our wish-‘to’-come-true.
