Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs)
Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs)
Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are the backbone of the JTS Performance Improvement program for combatant command trauma systems. The JTS remains committed to using the highest levels of analytical and statistical analysis in its CPG development process. The CPGs are compiled from DoD Trauma Registry data, health data abstracted from patient records and after action reports. The data are analyzed and distilled into guidelines to remove medical practice variations and save lives. The CPGs are used by military and civilian healthcare providers worldwide and are largely responsible for decreasing case fatality rates.
CPGs are evidence-based and developed with subject matter experts in the military and civilian communities, deployed clinicians, trauma care physicians, surgical consultants, and JTS leaders. The JTS CPG standards and recommendations have found their way into the civilian medical communities. CPGs are freely available for download.
