Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters
The Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters (CCGPP) researches and rates evidence for the chiropractic profession, and compiles it into a summary document containing a literature synthesis.[1]
History
The Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters (CCGPP), was formed in 1995 at the behest of the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA), and with assistance from the American Chiropractic Association, Association of Chiropractic Colleges, Council on Chiropractic Education, Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards, Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Sciences, Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research, International Chiropractor's Association, National Association of Chiropractic Attorneys and the National Institute for Chiropractic Research
Mission
The CCGPP's mission is to provide consistent and widely adopted chiropractic practice information, to perpetually distribute and update this data, as is necessary, so that consumers and others have reliable information on which to base informed health care decisions.
Structure
Six members were appointed to represent the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA). Other members were appointed by the organizations that created CCGPP. The CCGPP is a steering organization of 21 individuals. 16 are chiropractors with one in education, one in research and 14 in full-time private practice. There is a vendor representative, a representative from chiropractic colleges and attorneys representing the National Association of Chiropractic Attorneys, as well as a public member. A research commission with several dozen members reports to and is supervised by CCGPP.
