Abstract
Evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice are intended to help health care providers and patients make decisions, minimize inappropriate practice variation, promote effective resource use, improve clinical outcomes, and direct future research. SCAI has been engaged in the creation and dissemination of clinical guidance documents since the 1990s. These documents are a cornerstone of the Society's education, advocacy, and quality improvement initiatives. The Publications Committee is charged with the oversight of SCAI's clinical documents program and has published the first iteration of this manual of standard operating procedures in 2019 to ensure consistency, methodological rigor, and transparency in the development and endorsement of the Society's documents. The manual has been updated based on feedback from the implementation of the original version to add specificity and expand the breadth of available document formats. The manual is intended for reference by the Publications Committee, document writing groups, external collaborators, SCAI representatives, peer reviewers, and anyone seeking information about the SCAI documents program.
