ACE Repository for Clinical Guidelines

ACE Repository for Clinical Guidelines

ARCG is a resource library for high quality, locally developed clinical guidelines, comprising ACE Clinical Guidelines (ACGs) and, ACE Clinical Recommendations (ACRs) developed by ACE, and clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) developed by external parties and methodologically validated by ACE.

Operational, administrative, regulatory, and research guidelines are excluded.

ACE Clinical Guidelines (ACGs) and Clinical Recommendations (ACRs)

ACGs and ACRs:

• Provide concise, evidence-based recommendations to inform specific areas of clinical practice and serve as a common starting point nationally for clinical decision-making.

• Are underpinned by a wide array of considerations contextualised to Singapore, based on best available evidence at the time of development.

• Developed in collaboration with a multidisciplinary group of local experts representing relevant specialties and practice settings.

• Are not exhaustive of the subject matter and do not replace clinical judgement.

ACRs address specific priority clinical questions. They are developed with the same methodological rigour as ACGs but are more focused and concise, with less explanatory and “how‑to” information.

ACG and ACR pipeline

Clinical topics submitted by healthcare professionals during our topic call each year are prioritised based on the topic's potential for impact in evidence-based practice and appropriate care. Please refer to Table 1 for all topics in development (as ACGs or ACRs), subject to changes.

Other local guidelines methodologically validated by ACE

Other local guidelines featured in ARCG have been methodologically validated by ACE for meeting ACE's Guidelines for Guidelines (G4G) minimum standards for guideline development. These standards highlight quality criteria that should be applied across methodologies in clinical guideline development to produce evidence-based, relevant, and high-quality clinical guidelines for Singapore’s healthcare setting.
