The Professional Board for Emergency Care (PBEC) last reviewed its Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) in 2017. We have received some positive and negative feedback since introducing the CPGs. One of the types of feedback received was that the document was too lengthy and thus difficult to digest. We have considered this feedback and others. A service provider is currently developing clinical decision support tools (CDSTs). These are reference resources designed to support clinical decision-making. >>> read more
