"A world where decisions across all sectors are consistently based on the best available evidence and science, leading to better health outcomes, resilient healthcare systems, and equitable access to effective interventions that account for context and values of the affected populations. The GRADE Working Group envisions its products and methods to be the global benchmark for transparent evidence assessment, empowering individuals, organizations, and policymakers to make informed, values-based decisions."

"To advance evidence-based, contextualized decision-making by providing transparent, rigorous, and accessible methods and tools for grading the certainty of evidence and the strength of health decisions, including recommendations. The GRADE Working Group is committed to improving decision-making by facilitating the interpretation of research findings to inform health guidelines, systematic reviews, health technology assessment, research and health in all policies (e.g., health, education, justice)."

"Judgments about evidence and recommendations in healthcare are complex. For example, those making recommendations about whether or not to recommend a new generation of blood thinners for patients with irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation) must agree on which outcomes to consider, which evidence to include for each outcome, how to assess the quality of that evidence, and how to determine if blood thinners do more good than harm. Because resources are always limited and money that is allocated to treating atrial fibrillation cannot be spent on other worthwhile interventions, they may also need to decide whether any incremental health benefits are worth the additional costs."

"Systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare provide essential, but not sufficient information for making well informed decisions. Reviewers and people who use reviews draw conclusions about the quality of the evidence, either implicitly or explicitly. Such judgments guide subsequent decisions. For example, clinical actions are likely to differ depending on whether one concludes that the evidence that blood thinners reduces the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation is convincing (high quality) or that it is unconvincing (low quality)."
