Multiple national organizations are engaged in ongoing efforts to develop, implement and evaluate prehospital evidence-based guidelines (EBGs). The National Prehospital Evidence-Based Guidelines Strategy developed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) with the involvement of 57 stakeholder organizations recognized a need to develop sustainable relationships among stakeholders and facilitate collaborative prehospital EBG efforts. The first proposed action of the Strategy was the creation of a Prehospital Guidelines Consortium (PGC) representing national medical and EMS organizations that have an interest in prehospital EBGs and their benefits to patient outcomes.

The PGC aims to advance the field of prehospital care through several key objectives. These include promoting research focused on the development of EBGs for EMS, encouraging the creation and adoption of EMS-specific EBGs, and supporting educational initiatives to raise awareness and understanding of these guidelines. Additionally, the consortium works to facilitate the implementation of EMS EBGs in clinical practice, advocate for standardized evaluation methods to assess the quality of these guidelines and promote funding for projects related to the development and improvement of EMS EBGs.
