Evidence‐based recommendations for clinical practice are intended to help health care providers and patients make decisions, minimize inappropriate practice variation, promote effective resource use, improve clinical outcomes, and direct future research. These documents are a cornerstone of the society's education, advocacy, and quality improvement initiatives.

The publications committee is charged with oversight of SCAI's clinical documents program and maintains this manual of standard operating procedures to ensure consistency, methodological rigor, and transparency in the development and endorsement of the society's documents.
