Stage 2: Secondary Panel

A critical stage in the development of CCS Consensus Recommendations is review by the so-called Secondary Panel. Secondary Panel members may not be CCS members, but have internationally recognized topic expertise or are key members of the target audience group.

Secondary Panel members have the capacity to consult on consensus conference drafts in terms of content, presentation and relevance to the audience addressed. In addition, Secondary Panel review is one more step CCS takes in the Consensus Recommendations development process to insure both balance and objectivity within the final document.

CCS is very grateful for the contributions of the 2006 Heart Failure Recommendations Secondary Panel and is proud to acknowledge the critical participation of Secondary Panel members.
