Health Care Delivery
Evidence-based research provides the basis for sound clinical practice guidelines and recommendations. The database of guidelines available from the National Guideline Clearinghouse and the recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force are especially useful.
Organizations across the United States are partnering with AHRQ in an effort to support comparative effectiveness research and access to evidence-based information to support health care decisionmaking.
AHRQ offers a growing library of free resources in English and Spanish that compare health care interventions and treatment options for a variety of conditions. Whether you are a health care professional, patient, caregiver, or an organization, AHRQ has materials to help you explore and compare the benefits and risks of interventions and treatment options based on evidence-based research.
AHRQ's mission is to improve the delivery of preventive and chronic care by developing tools, resources, and materials to support health care organizations and engage the entire health care delivery system.
