The Trump administration via the Department of Health and Human Services is closing down the National Guideline Clearinghouse on Monday, July 16, 2018.
The Daily Beast is reporting that:
The Trump Administration is planning to eliminate a vast trove of medical guidelines that for nearly 20 years has been a critical resource for doctors, researchers and others in the medical community.
Maintained by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ], part of the Department of Health and Human Services, the database is known as the National Guideline Clearinghouse [NGC], and it’s scheduled to “go dark,” in the words of an official there, on July 16.
There are no current plans to archive and retain the guidelines database.
