On July 13, I saw this on Twitter: On Monday, doctors, nurses and researchers will lose access to a trove of medical data, as the Trump Administration shuts down the National Guidelines Clearinghouse. See our piece today, by our Senior Investigator @j0ncampbell , in @TheDailyBeast : https://t.co/Qz1tkRIQIM — Sunlight Web Integrity Project (@SunWebIntegrity) July 12, 2018 There are two US government websites in danger, the National Guideline Clearinghouse ( https://www.guideline.gov ) and the National Quality Measures Clearinghouse ( https://qualitymeasures.ahrq.gov ). Both store medical guidelines. Both will "not be available after July 16, 2018". According to the linked Daily Beast article above: 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 somet...
