JTS Clinical Practice Guidelines


The Joint Trauma System Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are to the greatest extent possible evidence-based. The guidelines are developed using a rigorous process that involves subject matter experts in each field evaluating the best available data. If you are interested in learning more about the process of developing CPGs, please click this link: "2. CENTCOM JTTS CPG Process-2 Apr 2012." This guide for CPG development will help lead you through the methods used to develop and monitor CPGs. The JTS remains committed to using the highest levels of analytical and statistical analysis in its CPG development process.
