2016 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Management of Patients with Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease: Process and Outcomes

There is little information available about the experience of nurses participating in development of interprofessional national patient care guidelines. There is often a delay in the awareness of the existence of up-to-date patient care guidelines based on the most recent evidence. The writing committee responsible for revising the ACC/AHA Guideline for the Management of Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease (LEPAD) initiated its work in November of 2014. The contents of the new guideline are confidential until its expected debut in November of 2016 at the AHA Scientific Sessions.
