Clinical Practice Guidelines Online

Between 1992 and 1996, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (now the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) sponsored development of a series of 19 clinical practice guidelines. Electronic users can access clinical practice guidelines sponsored by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research through an electronic full-text retrieval system called HSTAT (Health Services Technology Assessment Text) at the National Library of Medicine.

Each guideline has several versions as listed: Clinical Practice Guidelines, Quick Reference Guides for Clinicians, and Consumer Versions (English and Spanish). You need to decide on and select the guideline version for the health condition you are interested in.

You may download each guideline in sections as electronic files or print each section using your Web browser features. To download, switch to the download mode (bolded, underlined hypertext link) and continue by selecting sections needed.

You may download clinical practice guideline files for your personal use only. If you want to reproduce guidelines in any form or incorporate them into other computer access systems, copyright issues must be addressed.
