National Guidelines Clearinghouse

The National Guidelines Clearinghouse was a resource that collected, reviewed, and shared clinical practice guidelines—recommendations designed to help healthcare providers deliver evidence-based care. It aimed to improve patient outcomes by making the latest, most effective medical practices accessible and organized. Managed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), it served as a centralized repository for standards across various health conditions and treatments. However, as of 2018, the Clearinghouse was discontinued, and comparable guidelines are now available through other professional organizations and health authorities.
