The Evidence-Based Guidelines Subcommittee will hold their first meeting on March 1, 2012 from 2:00 pm to approximately 5:00 pm in Room 211 of the Clackamas Community College Wilsonville Training Center in Wilsonville. The meeting will begin with introductions, orientation to the goals of the subcommittee and election of chair and vice-chair. They will review the process for both the development of evidence-based guidelines and also coverage guidance for Oregon Health Authority programs as well as commercial insurers. They will hear updates on guidelines already under development through the work of the Health Services Commission on imaging for chronic back pain, percutaneous interventions for low back pain and spinal fusion and continue work on their development where appropriate. They will also discuss the prioritization of topics for coverage guidance development from those identified by the Health Evidence Review Commission and review draft coverage guidance on elective induction of labor, cesarean section on maternal request and the evaluation and management of low back pain.
