Since 2008, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Office of Emergency Medical Services and the Emergency Medical Services for Children Program (Health Resources and Services Administration), in collaboration with the Federal Interagency Committee on Emergency Medical Services (FICEMS), have been working to create and pilot test a model for developing and implementing evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) for prehospital emergency care. NHTSA has created an overview of the activities to date and the future plans for the EBG project to share with the EMS community. Click here for more information and to download the overview..
