Trip is a clinical search engine designed to allow users to quickly and easily find and use high-quality research evidence to support their practice and/or care.

Trip has been online since 1997 and in that time has developed into the internet’s premier source of evidence-based content. Our motto is ‘Find evidence fast’ and this is something we aim to deliver for every single search.

As well as research evidence we also allow clinicians to search across other content types including images, videos, patient information leaflets, educational courses and news.

ECRI Guidelines Trust TM is a publicly available web-based repository of objective, evidence-based clinical practice guideline content. Its purpose is to provide physicians, nurses, other clinical specialties, and members of the healthcare community with up-to-date, clinical practices to advance safe and effective patient care. This centralized repository includes evidence-based guidance developed by nationally- and internationally-recognized medical organizations and medical specialty societies.

ECRI Institute’s 20+ years of experience as the sole prime contractor for the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC) puts us in a unique position to build upon that legacy by summarizing guidelines and appraising them against the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Standards for Trustworthiness. The Guidelines Trust provides the following guideline-related content:
- Guideline Briefs: Summarizes content providing the key elements of the clinical practice guideline.
- TRUST (Transparency and Rigor Using Standards of Trustworthiness) Scorecards: Ratings of how well guidelines fulfill the IOM Standards for Trustworthiness.
