Clinical Practice Guidelines Archive
The National Guideline Clearinghouseâ„¢ taken down on July 16, 2018, because federal funding though ´óÏóÊÓÆµwas no longer available to support them. Please visit AHRQ's Guidelines and Measures (GAM) microsite to find information about its legacy guidelines and measures clearinghouses.
Between 1992 and 1996, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (now the ´óÏóÊÓÆµ) sponsored development of a series of 19 clinical practice guidelines.
These guideline products are no longer viewed as guidance for current medical practice, and are provided for archival purposes only.
