This document outlines procedures for developing and submitting guidelines, including the identification and assembly of Guideline Champions ( Champions ) and other subject matter experts from within the VA and DoD (the Work Group ). Appendix A provides a detailed description of the guideline development process. This CPG s Champions and Work Group (see Guideline Work Group) were tasked with developing evidence-based clinical practice recommendations through crafting key questions (KQs) that were the most clinically relevant and important for the management of dyslipidemia. The Champions and Work Group also provided direction on inclusion and exclusion criteria for the evidence review and assessed the level and quality of the evidence. The scientific evidence published since the 2014 VA/DoD Dyslipidemia CPG informed the new KQs. The Champions assisted in: Identifying appropriate disciplines to be included in the Work Group Directing and coordinating the Work Group Overseeing the guideline development and review processes The VA Office of Quality and Patient Safety, in collaboration with the Office of Evidence Based Practice, U.S. Army Medical Command, the DoD proponent for CPGs, identified three clinical leaders, John R.
