General Questions are 5-minute, non-billable calls where reviewers can explain the meaning of existing PAAB guidance as it relates to general scenarios. 


Why consider General Questions: 


  • General questions are great for getting clarification on specific elements of the Code such as “What is a consensus guideline?” or “How would we validate the use of international guidelines?” These are broad questions that speak to understanding the Code.
  • Questions like “Can I use guideline XXX from Germany” or “Would it be ok if I link APS X to APS Y” would not be considered general questions as they are about specific issues and executions. 


The details: 


  • Length: 5-minute call with a PAAB reviewer 
  • Mode: Teleconference 
  • Timing: A PAAB reviewer will call within 1 business day of request
