Funding cuts to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality forced AHRQ to shutter the National Guideline Clearinghouse in July.

While ECRI developed and maintained the National Guideline Clearinghouse for 20 years, it has to start from scratch in order to fill the gap.

In fact, ECRI is building a new set of guidelines, says Karen Schoelles, MD, director of the ECRI Guidelines Trust and ECRI Institute-Penn Medicine Evidence-based Practice Center.

This effort includes reaching out to guideline developers, medical specialty societies and other healthcare organizations for permission to include their guidelines.

\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible amount of work,\u201d Schoelles adds. \u201cThat\u2019s why we are launching with an initial set of Guideline Briefs and TRUST scorecards, and will be adding new content continuously as it becomes available.\u201d

\u201cTrustworthy clinical practice guidelines are essential to medical professionals who need to deliver safe and effective patient care,\u201d says Marcus Schabacker, MD, president and CEO at ECRI. \u201cSince ECRI\u2019s mission is to advance effective, evidence-based healthcare globally, we are taking the lead to provide free access to trusted guideline resources.\u201d

Early features coming in 2019 will include advanced search capability, an improved user interface, as well as support for guideline implementation and decision-making.
