National Guideline Clearinghouse™ (NGC)

This web site <www.guideline.gov> is an initiative of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in partnership with the American Medical Association and the American Association of Health Plans to produce a comprehensive database of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines and related documents.

NGC Strengths

Two comprehensive searching options.

Keyword with categories to disease/condition, treatment/intervention, guideline category, organization, etc.

Browse categories including disease/condition, treatment/intervention, measures/tools, organization, etc.

NGC Cautions

Not all guidelines are available in full-text. Must order with possible fee

Search results often are quite large and will need additional limits to narrow search results
