The PHAC tool allows for a structured and transparent assessment of the above factors, to allow the assessor to come to a final judgment about the presence of COI. Use of the tool involves the following steps:
# Interests are disclosed by the expert in the DOI form (see PHAC COI disclosure form for guideline development)
# Info disclosed in forms by experts are input into the tool by the assessor
# Assessor makes a judgment on relevancy and other key considerations
# Based on those factors, a judgment is made on the presence (yes/no) and type of COI (financial, non-financial) and how significant the COI is (low, moderate, high), with the aid of a rubric/algorithm
Figure 2 provides a conceptual schematic of the tool. '''Detailed instructions for each stage of use are also included in the tool.'''
[[File:COI tool.jpg|center|frame|876x876px|<u>Figure 2.</u> Conceptual schematic of the PHAC COI assessment tool. Information that will be disclosed in the PHAC disclosure of interest form are in red. Other considerations could, for example, be whether a published article was based on opinion versus simply restating published evidence. It could also be, for example, if an honorarium or grant was paid to the individual’s institution versus directly to them. ]]
The COI assessment tool is currently undergoing pilot testing, and a final tool will be uploaded soon.
