Guidelines Under Development

If you have a recommendation for a new EAST Practice Management Guideline (PMG) or Evidence Based Review (EBR) or an update to an existing one, see the submission process here. Proposals will be reviewed by the EAST Guidelines Committee

If a PMG under development is in need of volunteers, a volunteer button will be activated. To volunteer as a team member, click the volunteer button for the PMG or EBR of interest and an email will be sent to the EAST Administrative Offices.  Your volunteer request will be reviewed by the Chair of the Guidelines Committee and confirmed by email notification.

Interested in finding out more about how to write a PMG using GRADE, EAST PMG Development, or where to receive GRADE training?  Visit our EAST Guidelines and GRADE Resource Warehouse.

*Although EAST membership not a pre-requisite to co-authoring a PMG, EAST typically reserves the use of non-EAST members for those with specific expertise (i.e. methodology or non-trauma clinical experience).
