The OARSI Board of Directors has established a new Guidelines Committee.
The committee objectives are to:
- Develop and publish the treatment recommendations.
- Monitor and update the recommendations regularly and when needed (if new evidence on existing treatments or new treatments/interventions appear).
- Suggest plan, methods, and processes for the development of new treatment recommendations for Board consideration.
- Propose funding possibilities and a tentative budget for Board consideration.
