ECRI Institute launches new web-based clinical practice guidelines repository with open access

Editor's Note

ECRI Institute recently launched ECRI Guidelines Trust, a publicly available web-based repository of evidence-based national and international clinical guidelines as well as Guideline Briefs with TRUST Scorecards.

The healthcare community has free access to the repository, which was created after funding cuts forced the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to shut down the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC). ECRI Institute developed and maintained the NGC website for 20 years.

The next phase of the repository will feature advanced search capabilities, an enhanced user interface, and support for guideline implementation and decision-making.

Registration is required for access to the repository website.
