Guidelines Committee

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.
