The Guidelines Committee (GC) promotes and supports the creation and adoption of guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of hematologic diseases. We do this in close collaboration with EHA’s Specialized Working Groups.  

The GC is an advisory committee to the EHA Research Committee and works closely with the EHA Office and other EHA committees. 

Responsibilities

  • Identify areas where evidence-based guidelines, consensus-based guidelines, and position documents are needed. 
  • Determine the methodology required for each item. 
  • Work with EHA’s Specialized Working Groups to appoint section editors. These editors will work to form the specific expert groups that produce the guidelines. 
  • Identify organizations active in producing hematology guidelines (e.g. ESMO) for co-creation of guidelines. 
  • Set the rules for EHA endorsement of guidelines developed by third parties. 
  • Take final decisions on EHA endorsements.
