Requests pouring in for AHCPR's new practice guidelines.
Since the early March release of the first practice guideline by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, on postoperative pain management, the agency's clearinghouse has received more than 110,000 telephone calls and letters requesting copies. The agency also has issued guidelines on urinary incontinence and pressure ulcers. It has mailed 615,000 pieces of literature on the guidelines, and more requests are being filled daily.
