Why is Trump eliminating medical guidelines that for nearly 20 years has been a critical resource for doctors, researchers and others in the medical community?
The AHRQ National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC, guideline.gov) Website will not be available after July 16, 2018, because federal funding will no longer be available. We're posting these summaries of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's National Guideline Clearinghouse will be no longer on July 16. www.Guideline.gov is the source, and there is nothing else like it. https://www.guideline.gov/
The platform receives about 200,000 visitors per month. Medical guidelines are best thought of as cheatsheets for the medical field, compiling the latest research in an easy-to-use format. When doctors want to know when they should start insulin treatments, or how best to manage an HIV patient in unstable housing even something as mundane as when to start an older patient on a vitamin D supplement they look for the relevant guidelines.
